Joanne Greene was the take-charge mother, wife, professional who never saw a challenge she couldn't meet. Busy, busy. Constantly on the go. No time to take a breath and consider what was driving her to live her life at break-neck speed. And then a traumatic accident forced Joanne to give up total control and depend on others for everything. During her recuperation, which took over a year, Greene learned the vital lesson of letting go, the importance of gratitude, and the realization that “This, too, shall pass.” She understood deep in her gut that control is an illusion, and that none of us can dictate the twists and turns our lives will take. What began as a book for Joanne's family and friends turned into By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go, a moving, sometimes funny, always truthful tale about loss, positive thinking, and counting our blessings.I love this interview and hope you will, too!
