Shortly after 9:00 P.M. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone
near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park.
She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours
later she arrives at the emergency room -- comatose -- with a
fractured skull, an 85-degree body temperature, and she has lost so
much blood that her doctors believe it's a miracle she's still
alive.
Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger.
It was a crime that stunned New Yorkers, the nation, the world.
Even today, more than a decade after the attack, the Central Park
Jogger -- who disclosed her name upon publication of this book --
is still in the news as startling new information about the
perpetrators develops. Because of the nature of her injuries,
Trisha Meili remembers nothing of the attack. But for Meili, the
crime was not the climax but the beginning of an extraordinary
journey.
"I Am the Central Park Jogger" recounts the mesmerizing,
inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent
recovery. Meili tells us who she was before the attack -- a young
Wall Street professional with a promising future -- and who she has
become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and
love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into
extraordinary healing and victorious life.
