Beyond the Legal Limit: Surviving a Collision with a Drunk Driver

Autor Pat Henman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2023
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in June 2013, performer and singer Pat Henman, was driving home on the highway with her 19-year-old daughter, Maia, when they were struck head-on by a drunk driver. Both women spent months in the hospital recovering and undergoing major surgery. Pat had nineteen surgeries in the first week alone and Maia, a first-year university student, was left permanently disabled. This was the beginning of a long and painful struggle for their entire family. But as Pat and Maia were rehabilitating and trying to adapt to new routines, the familys life became engulfed in the confusing world of insurance settlements, a criminal trial against the impaired driver, and a broken legal system. Among the grief and anguish is a story of resilience, and recovery. Pat, whose vocal chords were damaged from the breathing tubes and was left with a permanent broken shoulder, was told she was unlikely to ever perform again. But with determination and retraining in her late fifties, she has slowly returned to her passion -- the stage. BEYOND THE LEGAL LIMIT is the story of how love, community support and the compassion of many, including strangers, can be the path to survival.

Recenzii

"Pat Henman provides an unflinching and brutally honest account of the impact that impaired driving can have on the human body. But the deeper story here is the strength of the human spirit; Pat didnt just survive her catastrophic injuries, she is living in spite of them. She is inspirational to so many people as she also holds her experience up as a stark warning about the human cost of impaired driving. The harsh reality is that Pats experience is sadly far too common. Impaired driving remains one of the leading causes of criminal death in Canada and injures tens of thousands of people every year. Maybe if every driver in Canada read Beyond the Legal Limit, we could eliminate impaired driving completely." --Steve Sullivan, Director of Victim Services, MADD Canada"
