What happens when your entire life changes in a matter of seconds?

On 15 May 2015, Sammi Lister's world was turned upside down when a devastating car accident left her paralysed from the chest down after a severe spinal cord injury.

The next, she was lying in intensive care surrounded by machines, doctors, and a future that looked nothing like the life she once knew.

Paralysed, Not Powerless is a raw and deeply honest memoir that takes readers inside the realities of spinal cord injury and recovery.

Sammi shares the emotional and physical challenges that followed her accident, including life inside intensive care, months in hospital, medication, loss of independence, and the mental battle of rebuilding a life in a wheelchair.

But this story is not about giving up.

It is about discovering strength in the darkest moments and proving that life does not end when the body changes.

Through courage, honesty and determination, Sammi reclaims her life and shows that even when everything stops, the human spirit can still move for
