If You Fall – It`s a New Beginning by Karen Darke

This first of all is a story about mountaineering, accident and paralysis. About coming to terms with losing movement and regaining the will to live. But it's also about the borderline between body and spirit. Karen is drawn into the world of faith healing and psychic surgeons in the Brazilian jungle. In testing these improbable claims she explores her own inner world and self. An incredible story that will inspire and empower anyone striving to get to the other side of a sudden change in their lives.
"Karen's captivating story shines a bright light on the meaning of exploration, and on the limitless capabilities of the human spirit" Ranulph Fiennes, explorer "Karen Darke has overcome the restrictions of injuries that would have broken many others and discovered a life of challenge and adventure that most of us only dream about." Joe Simpson, mountaineer and author of Touching the Void
Karen Darke spends most of her time running Inspire and Impact, delivering training courses, and working for charity. She also organises and takes part in expeditions to remote wilderness places. She lives in Morayshire, Scotland.
