At 29, Diana Hill's life changed dramatically after a train accident left her a double-leg amputee. Her journey explores the intersections of sexuality, disability, and the fight for justice, infused with humor and heart. Love & Justice captures her remarkable story.
Love & Justice is a poignant memoir by Diana Hill, who, at the age of 29, experienced a life-altering accident when she fell under a London train. In a matter of seconds, this vibrant and successful businesswoman became a double-leg amputee, facing the overwhelming reality of her new existence. The narrative delves into the profound issues of sexuality and disability as Diana reflects on her tumultuous journey through the legal battles and the complexities of her love life that unfolded in the aftermath of her accident.
As she lay in the hospital, grappling with the trauma of her injuries, Diana was confronted with the shocking news that the Transport Police were investigating her for allegedly trespassing on the railway line. Dubbed The Fall Girl by the press, she found herself embroiled in a five-year fight for justice that she describes as even more grueling than the physical loss she endured. This struggle not only challenged her resilience but also forced her to confront her body image and the fears surrounding her desirability as a woman.
Throughout the memoir, Diana shares her experiences with unflinching honesty, blending humor and heart to convey the rawness of her emotions. She candidly discusses the impact of her disability on her relationships and self-perception, while also highlighting the strength and determination that propelled her forward. Love & Justice is a compelling story of survival, love, and the quest for dignity in the face of adversity, resonating with readers as both shocking and uplifting.
"A compelling story of how humour, friendship, grace and sheer grit can triumph over unthinkable catastrophe. Diana Morgan-Hill's unflinching memoir is proof that what does not kill us makes us strong." Liz Jensen, author of The Ninth Life of Louis Drax
