Accidental Purpose: An Unforeseen Journey Changing Lives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996558501)

After a day of music, food, and fun, suddenly the van D. Lynne Cole is riding in starts turning over and over, violently tossing around the van's passengers and contents.

In Accidental Purpose: An Unforeseen Journey Changing Lives, Cole tells her inspiring story of moving forward and helping others after a tragic accident-an accident she barely survives.

When she awakes in the hospital with her neck broken in several places, she doesn't know if she'll ever walk again. But the nurses and doctors help her start the healing process, and gradually she regains her strength and will to move on.

Through this experience, Cole finds a new sense of determination, a desire to build something good out of what happened-a purpose. Despite the challenges of being a single mother of two young sons, struggling with pain and physical difficulties, and without any background in this area, she decides to start a college for nurses and other health-related professionals.

Now a successful entrepreneur, college consultant, and public speaker, having been inspired by those who helped her, Cole offers her story, along with the insights that guided her along the way, to show her readers they can accomplish anything.
