Description

Emily Lyons survived a bomb detonated by Eric Robert Rudolph in Birmingham, Alabama on Jan 29th, 1998. Rudolph was on the FBI's Top Ten for over five years with a reward of one million dollars. The manhunt cost $30 million. Emily sustained extensive injuries, including the loss of her eye. This book is about the attack, but there is so much more - love and hate, life and death, joy and sorrow. Most of all, it is about survival. Tragic events do not make a person special. Life knocks everybody down. What counts is how you stand up afterwards. Emily faced her injuries head on and with a smile. "This bombing was an unforgivable act that strikes at the heart of the constitutional freedoms and individual liberties all Americans hold dear." --President Clinton. "In an era of terrorism, Emily Lyons proves its failure. It has made her more outspoken, more likely to smile, and even more treasured by her husband. Her personal story is an inspiration to all." --Gloria Steinem. "Thank you so much for your courage." --Katie Couric, Today Show. "Emily and Jeff's inspiring story is one of overcoming tragedy with love and humor." --Rick Journey and Janice Rogers, WBRC.
