When life collapsed without warning
Scotty Roberts woke up in a body and a world he barely recognized. The book stays inside those first twelve days.
The twelve days
A long illness, a lost leg, a marriage coming apart. Then the slow work of deciding who to be next.
The collapse
The aftermath of a sudden medical crisis, and the way one emergency sets off a chain of others.
The leg
The physical and emotional reality of losing a limb, written from inside the hospital bed.
The marriage
A long marriage coming apart, and the love that is still there when it does.
The time-prompts
Mystical time-prompts, inner reckonings and the small moments of grace that arrive uninvited.
The fight
A man fighting for more than survival. He is fighting for meaning.
Day twelve is not the end
It is where he stops only surviving and starts choosing to rise.
