Porcelain Soul

'As uplifting as it is sad. A beautiful book which teaches us to live every minute and appreciate what we have.' – The Times Andreea is thirteen and looking forward to taking part in a Romanian dance performance on a trip to Paris with her friends.

She skips school one day and gets in a car with a boy she doesn't know.

They have a terrible crash which leaves her paralysed from the neck down.

At thirteen she is forced to confront the feeling of losing her entire reality in just one moment.

This is the story of the operations, the hospitals, the friendships, the long waits, the pain, and the discovery of what it means to be courageous.

In this "beautiful" memoir (The Times), Andreea shares her inner journey which led her to re-evaluate what really matters and which is bound to make us reflect on how much we take for granted in our own lives.
