Defiant chronicles the remarkable life of Janine Shepherd, an elite ski racer whose bid to represent Australia in the Olympics was cut short by a tragic accident. She recalls the 10 days she hovered between life and death, faced with the difficult choice to let go or return to a body that would never be whole again.

After six months in a hospital battling to rehabilitate her permanent disabilities, she not only taught herself to walk again, she earned her wings as both a pilot and an aerobatics instructor.

Happily married and raising three children, her life was again upended when she was forced to face a painful divorce, the loss of her home, and financial ruin. Undaunted, Janine persevered in managing her again-reinvented life as a single mom, as well as celebrated author and international speaker.

Janine Shepherd shares with candor and compassion the practical lessons she has learned throughout her continuing journey. Defiant offers hope and encouragement for anyone facing a life challenge, sharing the author's hard-won wisdom and priceless advice for navigating one's way from loss to healing.

I love Janines story telling and am just on the heels of reading her first book NTMN. This one covers a good bit of the first book but in less detail. The remainder of the book then picks up from where the first book ends and covers up to her life as she moved from Australia and when her children are all grown. Again a very inspiring story of the hardships she has faced and the positives to be taken away from whatever anyone is going through. Would recommend.

Great up date on this remarkable woman, we can all learn from her story
