At the time she wrote the book, the author was only 31 years old, but the density of events in her life would shock even die-hard skeptics who insist that anything like this can’t happen to one person. A serious injury at a fairly young age, then brain cancer, a series of complex operations, the loss of her husband, clinical depression, anorexia, coma, and a long rehabilitation—Polina herself jokingly calls herself a “professional patient,” but anyone who listens to her book will say she is more like a professional survivor. Polina Ponomaryova shares her experience of how to act in situations that the rest call “hopeless” and “insurmountable.”
This book will become for you:
• a strong shoulder of a friend you can lean on in a difficult moment;
• a set of tools to help yourself and crutches for your first steps;
• a roadmap for survival—with a happy ending.
Just know this: in the darkest hour you are no longer alone—miracles really do happen, and there is always a way out, as long as we are alive!
