Description

The winner will receive Moving Forward In Reverse: An inspirational memoir about the positive aspects of being human.


Imagine waking in a hospital ICU from a month-long coma to learn that in order to save your life, doctors had to amputate your hands and feet. The pendulum of your life has swung completely in the opposite direction. What goes through your mind? Scott Martin should have died in a hospital bed at age 35. Instead, he managed to fight off almost certain death and to survive “the flesh-eating disease". After four amputations and intensive rehabilitation, he thought all he wanted was to get back to the life he’d had as a successful collegiate soccer coach. In this seemingly insurmountable quest to regain what he had lost, unexpected events would take Martin down a fateful road that would make his life infinitely more fulfilling than the one that was savagely taken from him. This inspirational story takes the reader on an emotional journey, teaching us that life is all about moving forward, but sometimes it must be done in reverse. This is a truly captivating and uplifting story which reminds us about the positive aspects of being human by showing how in one man's quest to be rebuilt, he became an inspiration for all those around him. Moving Forward In Reverse goes deeper than similar inspirational books such as Soul Surfer and Between a Rock and a Hard Place because it tells about the life that followed and the rebuilding process that moved Scott Martin forward.
