A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIFE

Book ID/图书代码: 12580019C00108

English Summary/英文概要: Frank Williams’ team was on the verge of winning the Formula One World Championship for the third time when his life was turned upside down.

The racing car constructor was on his way to Nice Airport on a spring afternoon in 1986 when he lost control of his car, suffering horrific injuries in a crash that left him a quadriplegic. For his wife, Ginny, the accident meant taking on new and unwanted roles as head of the household and family decision-maker, while also struggling to overcome the anger and grief she felt after the accident.

In A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIFE, Ginny tells her story with honesty and humor, set against the glamorous backdrop of Formula One racing. She documents life before and after the devastating accident - from falling in love with Frank at first sight to learning how to cope with his needs after he became severely disabled but remained fiercely independent.

A testament to the power of compassion and perseverance, A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIFE is a moving and inspirational story.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 弗兰克•威廉姆斯的车队即将第三次赢得一级世界冠军,但他的生活却发生了翻天覆地的变化。

1986年春天的一个下午,这位赛车手在去尼斯机场的路上失去了对汽车的控制,在一次车祸中受了重伤,导致四肢瘫痪。对他的妻子金妮来说,这次事故意味着她要承担新的和不受欢迎的角色,成为一家之主和家庭决策者,同时还要努力克服事故后的愤怒和悲伤。

在《与众不同的人生》中,金妮用诚实和幽默讲述了她的故事,背景是一级方程式赛车的迷人背景。她记录了那场毁灭性事故前后的生活——从第一眼就爱上了弗兰克,到在他严重残疾后学会了如何满足他的需求,但仍保持着强烈的独立性。

《与众不同的人生》是一个感人而励志的故事,它证明了同情心和毅力的力量。(WYL)
