Näkymätön taistelu – Aivovammapotilaasta ironmaniksi

sidottu
Miten aivovamma mullisti koko elämän. Robson Lindberg taklattiin jääkiekko-ottelussa, jonka jälkeen hän oli kolme minuuttia tajuttomana. Alkoi 2074 päivää kestävä kuntoutus, jonka aikana hänen piti opetella konttaamaan ja kirjoittamaan. Kahdeksan aivoverenvuotoa ja keskivaikea aivovamma tarkoitti työkyvyttömyyseläkkeelle jäämistä, mutta 30-vuotias Robson päätti toisin. Alkoi pitkä tie kuntoutuksessa kaikki tai ei mitään -asenteella, sisulla ja tarmolla. Kaikki on mahdollista, jos ottaa vastuun omasta menestyksestään, hän ajatteli. Viisi vuotta myöhemmin Robson pääsi maaliin täyden matkan Ironman-triathlonissa. Tänäkään päivänä se, miltä Robson näyttää, miltä hän kuulostaa ja mitä hän pystyy tekemään ei ole koko totuus. Muille näkymätön aivovamma on potilaalle aina läsnä. Aivovammapotilaan kuntoutuminen ei lopu koskaan. Robson on matkalla kohti itseasettamaansa tavoitetta tulla maailman parhaaksi aivovammapotilaaksi. Kertomalla tarinansa hän haluaa kannustaa lukijaa koettelemaan rajojaan ja kohtaamaan vastaan tulevat vaikeudet. Heli Bergius on toimittaja ja kirjailija, joka on tehnyt pitkän uran kirjakustannusalalla. Hän on kirjoittanut ja suomentanut useita terveyteen ja hyvinvointiin liittyviä tietokirjoja. Robson Lindberg on isä, puoliso, puhuja, triathlonisti ja urheilija. Hän on kansainvälinen urheilukuuluttaja ja ainoa pohjoismaalainen, joka on kuuluttanut Ironmanin MM-kilpailuja. Omalla esimerkillään hän haluaa näyttää miten mahdottomasta voi tehdä mahdollista.

A daring young woman will risk her life to find her destiny in this atmospheric, beautifully drawn historical debut novel-a tale of love, hope, and danger set during the First World War. Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother's rigid expectations forbid Lilly from following her heart. When war breaks out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance for independence. Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an ambulance driver in the newly formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps-an exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front. Assigned to a field hospital in France, Lilly is reunited with Robert Fraser, her dear brother Edward's best friend. The handsome Scottish surgeon has always encouraged Lilly's dreams. She doesn't care that Robbie grew up in poverty-she yearns for their friendly affection to become something more. Lily is the most beautiful-and forbidden-woman Robbie has ever known. Fearful for her life, he's determined to keep her safe, even if it means breaking her heart. In a world divided by class, filled with uncertainty and death, can their hope for love survive...or will it become another casualty of this tragic war? The paperback includes a P.S. section with additional insights from the author, background material, suggestions for further reading, and more.

An aristocratic young woman leaves the sheltered world of London to find adventure, passion, and independence in 1920s Paris in this mesmerizing story from the USA Today and internationally bestselling author of Somewhere in France and After the War is Over. Spring, 1924 Recovering from a broken wartime engagement and a serious illness that left her near death, Lady Helena Montagu-Douglas-Parr vows that for once she will live life on her own terms. Breaking free from the stifling social constraints of the aristocratic society in which she was raised, she travels to France to stay with her free spirited aunt. For one year, she will simply be Miss Parr. She will explore the picturesque streets of Paris, meet people who know nothing of her past-and pursue her dream of becoming an artist. A few years after the Great War's end, the City of Light is a bohemian paradise teeming with actors, painters, writers, and a lively coterie of American expatriates who welcome Helena into their romantic and exciting circle. Among them is Sam Howard, an irascible and infuriatingly honest correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Dangerously attractive and deeply scarred by the horror and carnage of the war, Sam is unlike any man she has ever encountered. He calls her Ellie, sees her as no one has before, and offers her a glimpse of a future that is both irresistible and impossible. As Paris rises phoenix-like from the ashes of the Great War, so too does Helena. Though she's shed her old self, she's still uncertain of what she will become and where she belongs. But is she strong enough to completely let go of the past and follow her heart, no matter where it leads her? Artfully capturing the Lost Generation and their enchanting city, Moonlight Over Paris is the spellbinding story of one young woman's journey to find herself, and claim the life-and love-she truly wants.
