A Journey of Discovery in Science and Healing

Rebecca Fogg

Part memoir, part medical investigation, this is a gripping account of surviving a freak accident, and a fascinating exploration of the science of trauma and recovery.

Late one night, Rebecca Fogg’s hand is partially amputated in an explosion in her flat. Quick thinking saves her life, but the journey to recovery is a slow one. As the doctors rebuild her hand, Rebecca, who also survived 9/11, rebuilds her sense of self by studying the physical and psychological process of recovery. Told with great emotional and intellectual clarity, Beautiful Trauma explores the resilient nature of the human spirit and the power we all hold in our hands.
