When Life Gets Tough

Imagine someone trying to kill you by physically assaulting you then hurling you off a bridge onto parked cars six metres below. Somehow you miraculously survive. Would that change your life?
In April 1989, a middle-aged housewife and mother was thrown off an overbridge in Auckland's CBD. The assailant, a complete stranger, changed many lives that day. A random act of violence in broad daylight left Trixie Jellie with life-threatening injuries. The New Zealand public was shocked, and the memory still lingers with people to this day.
Trixie has faced many battles and challenges over the years. She has learnt to ride the highs and lows with a positive attitude and her faith in God as her constant companion and source of strength.
Shocking, heartfelt and encouraging, this book is the story of a remarkable life, and proof of the impact of positive choices in tough times. It is a story of healing, forgiveness, faith and courage.
