The book Sophie's Journey by Sally Collings, with ISBN 9780732285531, tells the harrowing and inspiring true story of Sophie Delezio, a young girl who survived two near-fatal accidents.
On December 15, 2003, just ten days before Christmas, a car crashed through the doors of the Roundhouse Childcare Centre in Sydney, where children were napping on mattresses. Sophie, who was only a toddler at the time, suffered third-degree burns to 85 percent of her body, losing both feet, some fingers, and her right ear. Despite these horrific injuries, Sophie survived against all odds.
Remarkably, two years later, Sophie was hit by a car again, sustaining more life-threatening injuries. Yet again, she defied the odds and survived.
Sophie's Journey chronicles the path of this extraordinary girl, narrated through the voices of her friends, family, hospital staff, emergency workers, and high-profile supporters. The book highlights the resilience and strength of Sophie and her family as they navigate these unimaginable challenges, offering a powerful message of hope and the triumph of the human spirit.
