Unshattered

Choosing a Beautiful Life After Unspeakable Tragedy

By: Carol J. Decker, Stacey L. Nash

Narrated by: Stacey L. Nash

On June 10, 2008, Carol Decker walked through the hospital doors a healthy woman with flu-like symptoms and early labor contractions. Three months later, she returned home a blind triple-amputee struggling to bond with a daughter she would never see.

Unshattered recounts Carol's fight for survival against sepsis and its life-shattering complications. From excruciating skin grafts to learning how to function in daily life without lower legs, a left hand, and her sight, Carol takes us on a personal and raw, yet inspiring journey. She travels through the darkness of trauma, anxiety, and depression to arrive, literally, at the peak of a mountain with a heart full of gratitude and love. More than a story of triumph over tragedy, the book offers inspiring life lessons and insights which can help listeners to do more than endure unimaginable pain and darkness in their own lives. This book can give them the perspective and strength to pick up the pieces of their own tragedies and choose a life of healing, purpose, and joy - a beautiful life.

I love real life stories read by those who lived them! You can hear the feelings and emotion as it is read! That’s my favorite! Choosing joy in our journeys is tough, but I want to do hard things like Carol!! She is incredible!!!

Carols journey is simply incredible. Thank you, Carol for sharing it with the world. As an amputee myself from Sumner, also with Friedly, Smith, and Greg as the superstars of my recovery, I loved hearing your perspective and your story. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This book is such a gift.

I recently was lucky enough to meet and listen to a speech by Carol at a conference in Atlanta, her story made me immediately buy this book. I am so happy I did, perspective is key, and this book helps to show everyone has struggles and ways you can get through.
