It wasn't a car crash, but there was a collision. He fell from the third floor.
At the age of twenty-two, Grace Spence Green's spine was broken at the fourth thoracic vertebra, and her life changed tracks. One day, she was in hospital supporting patients, the next she was one.
To Exist As I Am traces Grace's journey back to the wards and back to herself - as words like recovery, independence and community, well and unwell, took on new meanings.
Through her extraordinary story, she asks how we might fight for change, while joyously embracing life exactly as we are.
