incredible, amazing book - By: S. Adams, 30 Jul 2008
I would recommend this book to anyone & everyone. If one person's story can reach out to others & touch them deeply enough to change their lives, this is such a book.
What an amazing woman! - By: Sarah Ghirardi, 16 Oct 2007
Gill's story is one of the most heart wrenching tales to tell. One could go on thinking about alll the 'what ifs' of that day, but Gill's strength of spirit & courage to carry on in the face of so much adversity is a true testament to her strong character. The stories & photos of 'life before 7/7' paint such a fascinating picture of a truly extraordinary lady, who so bloody didn't deserve what happened to her! If only there were more people in the world like Gill who could make so much good come out of such a horrific situation.
Inspiration and Courage Without Bounds! - By: Louise Hollow, 24 Aug 2007
Somebody recommended that I read this book & they weren't wrong. I read the whole book with a huge lump in my throat & tears in my eyes. Gill's story is one of tremendous courage & determination. Her vivid language & complete honesty with the reader leaves us in no doubt as to what her & her family & friends experienced in the days, weeks & months after. She is truly an amazing woman, both courageous & inspriational. I can only wish her & her family the very best for the future - she deserves it more than anyone else I know. An amazing book by an amazing woman!

A Truly inspirational book from a very courageous lady. - By: littleskippy, 14 Jun 2007
I have just finished this book - I read it in one day - I never put it down until I had finished it - I couldn't do so. I have never read a book which has moved me so much & I read it through tears. When I read the part where Gill was in the dark with her horrific injuries I felt as if I was actuallly there with her & living through it with her. Gill, you are a truly wonderful person & I cannot even try & understand what you endured but I am so glad you wrote this book & shared it with us.
All the very best for the future if you are reading this, Gill. If I could have given this book 10 stars even that wouldn't have been enough.
