In this truly inspirational memoir, Danica Apolline-Matic describes the near death experience she had as a result of a suicide. Danica recounts the stories of her childhood that led to that point, the violence and physical abuse she encountered, and her experiences of sleeping on the streets as a teenager. She shares how her love of learning, and her love of the early 1990s rave scene kept her alive - partying, shining and laughing, until a combination of difficult events, including failing to achieve her life’s dream, led to a park in Manchester where she hung herself.
Describing the sheer miracle of having survived, and the beautiful experience of being met by an angel who told her that she couldn’t go through, and how she had work to do in the world, Danica narrates the conversation they had about why her life had been challenging, and what she needed to know about her journey on her return. In Born Feisty, Danica freely shares what she has learned about life, love, suicide, having a sense of purpose, why we face challenges, and how to walk through them, and how to find peace with every part of our lives, including those who have hurt us the most. She shares all she learned about how to make the most wonderful differences to our own lives, as well as to the lives of others, and our beautiful world. This is a book with an illuminating message for our time - and an inspiring call to humanity.
