Tragedy happens to everyone. Whether it's the loss of a loved one,
a painful divorce, or a serious injury, we must all face personal catastrophe—unavoidable moments that divides our lives into "before" and "after." These events take a heavy toll on everyone, but there are those who have muscled their way through tough times and emerged stronger and wiser. Author Jerry White is one such example. In 1984, he lost his leg in a tragic accident. He has personally endured the pain of loss and the challenge of rebuilding. Through the organization he founded, White has interviewed thousands of victims of tragedy. Sharing what he's learned, White outlines an effective five-step program for turning tragedy into triumph: Face Facts, Choose Life, Reach Out, Get Moving and Give Back.
In their own words, his fellow survivors share their stories—a group that includes the well-known like Lance Armstrong, Elie Wiesel, and the late Princess Diana, but also everyday people. With compassion, White takes listeners through the process of not only enduring tragedy and victimhood, but going on to thrive.

      Author and narrator Jerry White, who lost his leg to a land mine, weaves personal experience with stories from other survivors to reveal the skills needed to survive--even to triumph over--crisis. He explores common themes of trauma, loss, and pain with empathy and power. Using his voice effectively, he characterizes other survivors, giving the impression of multiple narrators. With careful pacing and understatement, White outlines a specific five-step program to cope with disaster, a program that turns tragedy into triumph and leaves many survivors grateful for their traumatic experience. His gut-level honesty, humor, and sense of irony make this a compelling listen. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      Author and reader White, corecipient of the 1997 Nobel® Peace Prize, here shares his personal crises (among them, losing his leg in an accident) as well as those of his friends, family members, and celebrities (from athlete Lance Armstrong to the late Princess Diana), focusing on the ways in which they've successfully rebounded. White's five-step coping technique contains references to God, tough love, and the Bible. With a clear, distinctive, and emotive but even voice, White's reading is well paced; his female voices are especially convincing. Recommended for public and inspirational libraries.
