Life in the Land of IS: The Amazing Story of Lani Deauville, the World's Longest Living Quadriplegic

by Bette Lee Crosby

Overview

Life in the Land of IS tells the amazing story of Lani Deauville, a woman the Guinness Book of Records lists as the World's Longest Living Quadriplegic. Lani is also a woman who believes in IS. "Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is yet to be," she says, "but IS is now and it's the truth of reality." In this beautifully captured memoir, Lani Deauville tells how in one moment of reckless abandon she went from a teenage diving champion to the edge of death and back again. Although destined to spend her remaining days in a wheelchair, Lani insists she wouldn't change one moment of the amazing life that took her from a high school dropout to one of the most accomplished and respected rehabilitative professionals in the state of Florida. Her story is one that will amaze and inspire people from all walks of life, especially those who face such challenges themselves.

Editorial Reviews

I felt like Lani was actually speaking to me and telling me her story vs. it being written by an author. Lani managed to lasso life and make it work for her, always remaining positive, even when faced with some monumental obstacles. Makes one truly wonder about the little pebbles that we consider to be boulders in our lives!

A Book & A Review - Naomi Blaackburn

Life in the Land of IS truly is an inspirational story of human courage and the power of living in IS moments. I laughed more than I cried and Lani's story touched me. It is the kind of story that stays with you.
