In this deeply moving conversation, Tracy Martin shares her story of profound loss, resilience, and transformation. Having lost both her parents by the age of fifteen, and later facing a life-altering accident that changed everything she knew, Tracy’s journey is one of courage and grace. Together, we explore what it means to adapt to broken and becoming, to find light in the darkness, strength in surrender, and purpose in the process of rebuilding. Tracy a paraplegic and full time wheelchair user since 1989, brings authenticity and depth to her storytelling. Her own journey of resilience and creativity shines through in every chapter of her new book - So Not Me - a book that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced adversity. Published by Orla Kelly Publishing. So Not Me is more than a novel, it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of hope. Set against the backdrop of two fractured families forever altered by tragedy, So Not Me is told through three distinct voices: Faye, an 18-year old navigating life-changing injuries, Rob, her boyfriend, who speaks from beyond, and Faye’s Higher Self, offering clarity and compassion. Together these perspectives weave a narrative that is both heart-wrenching and hopeful, reminding readers that even in the darkest moments, it is possible to rewrite your story.
