ABOUT THE BOOK: When Emma was 20 years old, she fell from 15,000 feet while skydiving and survived. The accident left her with a broken L1, pelvis, and a spinal cord injury. She was, unsurprisingly, told she would never walk again.

Now, she is ready to tell her story of how, through what could be considered one of her greatest tragedies, she found her truest self.

From her early days in the hospital, to learning how to regain the use of her legs, the six-year long court case and now being finally free to make the most of her life, Emma teaches us the importance of courage and resilience.

The Girl Who Fell from The Sky is more than a memoir, it’s a call to action that reminds us to not take our lives and abilities for granted.

'I love this woman's outlook and her attitude. She's formidable and indomitable, but in a totally sunny and loveable way. Thank you Em, for sharing your story with the world. It helps all of us.'

'The accident honestly is the least interesting thing about Em Carey. The real story is the remarkable lens with which she views the world. I truly believe that the moment that changed her life could also change yours.'
