OMGosh!! I splurged with my tax return and purchased an early birthday present for myself. I had heard of Stephanie's story before. I even followed her blog awhile back before my old blog froze on me... unfortunately I forgot all about her blog and so I hadn't heard about her story since. Amazingly, but not a total surprise she wrote about her experiences as a mother and her trials in life. I learned of this only a week or so ago when it first came out. One of my cousins is an avid follower of Nie Nie's blog for awhile now. She informed me through one of her post that this book had come out. I was thrilled to hear it and ordered one online that very week. I got the book a couple of days ago and I found myself enthralled in her story. Though I remembered (amazingly enough) some of the details before.
This Stephanie Nielson is a inspiration to woman everywhere whether you are LDS and trying to be a mother or a woman going to school and working towards her own career. She tells about the deep disappear she felt in having her life torn upside down from an awful plane crash. Her body being 80% burned her chance of living incredibly slim. She chose to live, and with time she began to heal and gain strength. Her trials are real her story is real. I found hope and strength in her story. And I greater determination to be grateful for all the little things in life. She was able to find beauty in herself even though most of her body was scarred and discolored. It's amazing! What an incredible woman! I hope one day I will have her courage and strength.
