Paperback. Zustand: Good. In September 2011, Turia Pitt, a beautiful 25-year-old mining engineer working her dream job in the far north of Western Australia, entered an ultra-marathon race that would change her life forever. Trapped by a fire in a gorge in the remote Kimberly region, Turia and five other competitors had nowhere to run. Turia escaped with catastrophic burns to 65 per cent of her body. With too little unburned skin left for skin grafts, Turia was put in an induced coma in the Burns Unit at Sydney's Concord Hospital while her body fought life-threatening infections and her surgeons imported skin from California. She lost the fingers on her right hand and her fingers on her left are partially fused together. She needed a new nose. There have been numerous operation, yet there are many more to come. While the story of Turia's survival involves many people - other race competitors, her rescuers, medical professionals - at its core is the strong will of Turia herself as she continues the long rehabilitation process with the loving support of her partner, Michael Hoskin, and that of their families in their New South Wales south coast hometown of Ulladulla, where the local community has rallied, raising funds to help with huge medical bills. Everything to Live For is also a love story. Michael, Turia's handsome teenage crush who became the love of her life, now cares for her as they plan a new life together; he is there to encourage Turia in her determination to move forward in an outwardly different body. The real tragedy of this story is that it should never have happened - because the race should never have happened. Despite facing a future with multiple challenges, Turia is optimistic. She is driving again and studying for her Master's degree. She is walking in marathons and would one day like to run again. Above all, she wants her story to make a difference: her mission is to make skin a more prominent organ in the repertoire of donated organs. It is a miracle Turia lived when she was expected to die. But Turia was not ready to die - she had too much to live for.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 271 pages. ex-libraryWhether via the numerous media reports, 60 Minutes specials, Women's Weekly cove r stories or her first book, Everything To Live For, we know about the why, how and what of that fateful day in September 2011. We know how she died four times on the operating table and her tortuous road to recovery. We've had a glimpse of the love of her boyfriend, Michael, that sustained her, and seen hints of the i nner-strength that has made her one of the most admired women in the country. Bu t until now, the true essence of this most remarkable Australian, plus the toll her accident has all taken on her and those around her, have remained a mystery. How and why does she push herself to ever greater physical and mental limits? W hat does she see when she looks in the mirror? How does her sudden celebrity (fo r the most unorthodox of reasons) sit with her? What lessons has she learned in the past five years? And, crucially, how can each and every one of us take those lessons and apply them to our own lives? More than a simple chronology of event s - and against the backdrop of a never-ending series of impressive physical fea ts, including climbing the Great Wall of China, walking the Kokoda Track and com peting in not one but two Ironman competitions - this book unmasks the real Turi a: funny, fierce, intelligent, flawed. With the benefit of hindsight and five ye ars' worth of getting of wisdom, Turia is only now able to account for how she p revailed where others might have faltered. And for the first time, in this book we get to know the people who - by Turia's own admission - made her recovery pos sible. Unmasked will reveal the woman behind the headlines, and in so doing, unc over the grace, humour and inner-steel that gets Turia Pitt through every day -.…
