In Driving Forwards, Sophie Morgan shares her extraordinary journey following a life-altering car accident at the age of eighteen. Once a rebellious wild child, her life took a dramatic turn when she became paralyzed from the chest down. This powerful memoir chronicles her struggles and triumphs as she navigates a new reality, learning to redefine herself amidst the challenges of living with paralysis. With striking honesty, Sophie reflects on how her dreams were shattered and rebuilt, showcasing the resilience that emerged from her adversity.

Throughout the pages of Driving Forwards, Sophie delves into the complexities of her relationships, the societal perceptions of disability, and the relentless pursuit of love and acceptance. As she confronts her own limitations and the expectations of others, she reveals the profound impact of her journey on her identity and purpose in life. The memoir is not just a recounting of events but an invitation for readers to explore their own perspectives on resilience and empowerment.

This remarkable narrative is infused with humor, warmth, and a raw honesty that resonates deeply. Sophie's story serves as a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise above challenges, encouraging readers to see adversity not as an endpoint but as a catalyst for growth. Driving Forwards is an inspiring reminder that even in the face of life's most daunting obstacles, there is always a path to hope and renewal.

A book that'll change your perspective on life. You'll not be able to put it down. * Fearne Cotton *
What I love about this book is it's not about "overcoming disability". Instead, it's about learning how to live a good disabled life - one full of friends, love, opportunities and fun. Disabled joy is so rarely seen, but Sophie Morgan has it in spades. * Lucy Webster, Political journalist, writer and disability advocate *
Wrenchingly honest...inspirational, eye-opening and deeply moving * Mail on Sunday *
