At the age of 29, Diana Hill fell under a London train. In 7
seconds the tall, glamorous businesswoman went from busy woman of
the world with everything to live for to double-leg amputee, her
life in ruins. Then it got worse. A few days after her accident, as
she lay in hospital, traumatised and heavily sedated, she learnt
via a newspaper article that the railway's Transport Police were to
interview "The Fall Girl", as the Press had labelled her, with a
view to prosecution. She had boarded a moving train, they said, and
trespassed onto their railway line. Her fight for justice took five
years and was, she declares with no hesitation, a more harrowing
experience than having both of her legs 'stolen' from her. As any
young, single woman would be, Diana was shocked to the core by the
sudden, catastrophic change in her body image. What man would ever
love her now? The issues surrounding sexuality, amputation and
disability are explored here with stark honesty as she recalls her
complicated love life, the High Court dramas, and the rawness of
her pain amidst a turmoil of emotion, all told with tremendous
humour, charm and heart. For Diana loves to tell stories.
Especially true ones. A brutally honest, heartwarming memoir that
shocks and delights in equal measure - when you're not crying for
her you're laughing with her
