My Race for Life:
Finding New Strength after Tragedy by Alison Bedingfield Delgado is
the inspiring story of the author's tragic accident and her journey to healing
and wholeness. Alison has grown up as an athlete and an academician, coming
first in the Flying Pig Marathon in the women's division at the age of
twenty-two. In her second year as a pediatric resident at the Cincinnati
Children's Hospital, Alison is hit by a car while cycling on a suburban road.
An emergency helicopter physician at the University Hospital is dispatched to
treat an unidentified victim just to find out that she is his newly wedded
wife. Alison suffers a brain injury and needs intensive rehabilitation. Follow
her journey towards recovery — one filled with life lessons and inspiration.
In the introduction to this hugely entertaining and inspiring
book, Alison is described as “the girl from Cincinnati’s west side who beat the
odds to win the Flying Pig Marathon. We didn’t realize it then, but beating the
odds is part of Alison’s DNA.” In the face of a life-threatening accident,
Alison refuses to go down. She beats the odds with determination, refusing to
become a victim, and taking her destiny into her own hands. As you read this
memoir, from page to page, a dazzling portrait of a fighter takes shape in your
mind and you begin to see how grit, determination, and clarity of intention can
create miracles where there seems to be no hope at all. The beautiful writing
is punctuated by telling photographs from the different moments in the author's
life. My Race for Life will give hope
to people who are stuck after experiencing tragedy. The author offers a
powerful message in this book — life can beat us down, but we can always choose
to stand up, triumphantly. It is filled with both uplifting and entertaining
passages.
