Description
A Second Wind: A Memoir by Philippe Pozzo di Borgo is a heartwarming and inspiring true story about two men who found help in unexpected ways. After a paragliding accident left him quadriplegic, Philippe was forced to confront his isolation and learn to rely on others. The only person who seemed willing to touch him was Abdel, an Algerian immigrant from the outskirts of society. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, Abdel's tenacious spirit and irreverent sense of humor helped reawaken Philippe's connection to people and the world around him. This memoir is a powerful exploration of the human need for connection and the unexpected ways in which it can be found.
