In Medias Res: Stories from the Middle of Healing

After a life altering accident during her first year teaching overseas at a school for missionary children, Laura chose to stay on assignment teaching and discipling Third Culture Kids once she was permanently paralysed. At first glance, the wheelchair is the most obvious feature people see, though the hipster glasses are a more defining surface detail about Laura's personality. The stories here vulnerably share a range of experiences before and after her spinal cord injury, including ongoing recovery and faith filled responses. As people look to her for inspirational disability stories, they find more opportunity to celebrate someone firmly defined by her identity in Christ rather than in any physical limitations. This book pulls together pre- and post-disability life stories to reflect on the whole person God made and how she is able to live and serve for his glory as someone who happens to have a disability.
