Produktbeschreibung

Becky Galli was born into a family that valued the power of having a plan. With a pastor father and a stay-at-home mother, her 1960s southern upbringing was bucoliceven enviable. But when her brother, only seventeen, died in a waterskiing accident, the slow unraveling of her perfect family began. Though grief overwhelmed the family, twenty-year-old Galli forged onward with her life plansmarriage, career, and raising a family of her ownone she hoped would be as idyllic as the family she once knew. But life had less than ideal plans in store. There was her son's degenerative, undiagnosed disease and subsequent death; followed by her daughter's autism diagnosis; her separation; and then, nine days after the divorce was final, the onset of the transverse myelitis that would leave Galli paralyzed from the waist down. Despite such unspeakable tragedy, Galli maintained her belief in family, in faith, in loving unconditionally, and in learning to not only accept, but also embrace a life that had veered down a path far different from the one she had envisioned. At once heartbreaking and inspiring, Rethinking Possible is a story about the power of love over loss and the choices we all make that shape our lives especially when forced to confront the unimaginable.

Autorenporträt

Rebecca (Becky) Faye Smith Galli is an author and columnist who writes about love, loss, and healing. Surviving significant losses-her seventeen-year-old brother's death; her son's degenerative disease and subsequent death; her daughter's autism; her divorce; and nine days later, her paralysis from transverse myelitis, a rare spinal cord inflammation affecting one in a million-has fostered an unexpected but prolific writing career. In 2000, The Baltimore Sun published her first column about playing soccer with her son-from the wheelchair that launched her From Where I Sit newspaper column. Her books, Rethinking Possible - A Memoir of Resilience (2017) and Morning Fuel - Daily Inspirations to Stretch Your Mind Before Starting Your Day (2024) reflect what she believes: "Life can be good-no matter what." With over 400 published columns, she continues to write Thoughtful Thursdays-Lessons from a Resilient Heart (www.beckygalli.com/signup). A Morehead-Cain Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she was formerly employed by IBM, where she was the recipient of the Golden Circle award for marketing excellence. Becky resides in Lutherville, Maryland, outside of Baltimore.
