When Life Throws You A Lemon by Hazel Goss is an inspiring, emotional and impactful memoir by the author herself whose husband has been paraplegic for the last thirty-three years of their fifty-four year marriage. Hazel reflects on how she met John, their wedding and honeymoon, the gliding accident that led to him being paralysed and the three decades of eventful and exhilarating travel they have accomplished across the globe. Hazel bears her soul in her memoir and I’m in awe of the support and dedication she provides for John and her family. It really shows with love, warmth and a wonderful support system that anything can be achieved and life doesn’t stop no matter what we endure. Hazel has a really powerful & clear writing style that takes you on her journey alongside her. Her memoir is efficiently edited and structured, you get a clear and easy to read layout and you’re given access to their heartfelt story full of ups and downs.
Hazel’s memoir is a powerful reminder that no matter how devastating and life-changing an event in your life can be, an event that feels like it could stop time itself, that no matter what – joy, wonder, humour and beautiful experiences are still possible.
