MY PLUNGE TO FAME by Gaynor Young (Signed copy)

In December 1989 Gaynor Young, a talented young actor stepped onto the stage of the State Theatre to debut as Guinevere in the musical Camelot. What should have been the most important night in Gaynor's life, proved to be catastrophic. Mistakenly, Gaynor stepped into an unguarded lift shaft and fell 18 meters. She came close to death and spent weeks in a comatose state. She spent months in hospital and rehabilitation, and was left with severe physical damage.

Rather than allow herself to be corroded daily by self-pity after the devastating injuries cut short her acting career, she gritted her teeth and got to work with the help of a strong faith, a loving family, friends and therapists to make the best of her severely changed life. Then she turned her tragedy into words that became a script, put on a big crooked smile and got up on stage to tell the world that her handicaps were not going to be the end, but a beginning.

Soft cover, good condition.
