Book Cover & Preview Text
There was no use pretending that the unthinkable had not happened or would not be life-changing. It had happened and life was completely different.…There was no way to tuck away the accident in the rearview mirror. It did not control my life, but it did rearrange it (and several important parts of my body). I had to deal with that. My kids had to deal with it. It was not the “usual” adjustment, like a job change or a move across town or a missed promotion (as trying as such adjustments can be). There was a lot more to this aftermath than picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off, and moving on.
Our lives were littered with wreckage that had to be sorted through, piece by piece. My broken body was only the beginning. The ever-expanding ripple effects were more difficult to manage. Marriage, trust, finances, shared dreams, expectations--all had been tested, trashed, or both. The cleanup was massive and ongoing, and there was no off-ramp. The only way out was through.

About the Book
What happens when the good life goes up in smoke and the ashes of your health, hopes, and plans are all that remain? That was Tim Brotzman’s reality when a car crash cut a devastating swath through the life of his dreams, leaving him nothing but wreckage, sorrow, and loss.
Are you there, now? Are you or a loved one living a life you never expected—a life of uninvited limitation, suffering, and lack? Are you wondering whether you can make, or whether your current life is worth living?
What “Never Give Up” Looks Like addresses these very questions. It describes in plain language a life ravaged by calamity and restored in hope. Raw and redemptive, it proves that when all seems lost—love, physical ability, career, family, and hope—you can arise from brokenness and rediscover life’s unrelenting beauty. In this unvarnished account, you will discover how a downward spiral became the upward path to a new kind of wholeness and fulfillment—to abiding victory, the defeat of hopelessness, and the power to share real life with others.
