When you have the world before you as an Olympic contender, the sun is shining and all is good with your world, to have it finish in a terrifyingly abrupt manner certainly takes some coming to terms with life and the hand that has been dealt.

When Janine Shepherd realised the extent of her injuries, after being struck by a vehicle while out training one morning, she had to not only reassess her life but to heal her tremendously battered body and soul.

After weeks when her life hung in the balance she eventually regained consciousness in a totally new world.

Having been told she would never walk again she set out to defy the odds, learning to walk again and rebuilding a life that, while full of daily ups and downs, has given hope to many.

Over the years since the accident she has become a mother, travelled the world and bought hope to many whose lives have been or are challenged or full of hardship.

In The Gift of Acceptance she shares a little of her personal journey, of coming to terms with life and many of the little homilies she has gathered along the way, which have meant so much in her in her journey.

Reach in and open a page at random and there will be one of the many pearls of wisdom which have helped her along the way and will help you.

In this book Janine Shepherd has offered a gift to all of understanding and acceptance of life’s more bitter moments as we learn to adjust, cope and move forward in life.
