Overview
On May 19, 2017, Debbie's life was perfect. Her fiancé had just moved in, she had started her dream job, and her daughter was about the graduate high school and go off to college. She was in Dallas, Texas training for her new job when she received the call that changed everything. Her daughter and her best friend had been hit head on by a large delivery truck. The other girl had died instantly, and Debbie's daughter was being flown to the level-one trauma hospital. She had to get home, not knowing what was ahead, but knowing her life had changed forever. This is the mother's story of the intense trauma and fear that her family was thrust into. This is also a love story, between a mother and daughter. Debbie tells her comatose daughter that Harry Potter survived due to his mother's love--and that she would do the same. For months, Debbie's life became a small hospital room. Debbie brings to life what happens in her daughter's accident through her recovery in a very personal and honest way. We learn about the impact this type of tragedy has on an entire community, and how the community lifted up this family. This is a story of hope in the midst of tragedy, triumph in the face of what could be unbeatable odds, and how one family came together to help Lexi heal. You will be reminded that each day is a priceless, and to always tell the ones you love how much they mean to you. Learn the steps this family took to get Lexi back as close to 100 percent as possible, using both traditional medical techniques and out-of-the-box therapies, allowing her to actually be attending college before the second anniversary of this tragedy.
