Thank you Karen for sharing your amazing journey with us through your book. Your strength of character and wonderful sense of humour shine brightly within the pages. Any tears I shed were quickly wiped away to make way for laughter when you recalled your adventures on the "Green Beast". I am really pleased that I bought this book. A truly inspirational read.

life has its ups and its downs.sometimes there is just nowhere to turn,and no shoulder to cry on.have you ever felt like that in your life? at times talking with a close friend can help.sometimes you can find solace from the words in a book,and thats exactly what i found when i read "if you fall...its a new beginning",a book carefully written by karen darke.
the book begins with the terrible accident which happened to karen while rock climbing in scotland.the climbing section of the book is quite short,so if you are a none climber please do not be put off by the title.karen goes on to relate how the accident changed her life,from the hospital bed,through rehab,to journeys to brazil to hopefully find comfort from a doctor that some people would not feel comfortable with.finally,karen relates how all these experiences has made her think about that one precious item we all have,but not all use to the full...life!
karens heartfelt lifestory can only be described as a wonderful piece of litrature,that flows easily from beginning to end,a book hard to put down.karen has had the courage to open her soul in this book.to read it will give you new found respect for your own life,to try and attain the maximum from it and live life to the full.i wholeheartedly recommend karens book for everyone to read!

An astounding five rating can be given to this book for it is not fiction but a real live persons life story. The setting of this shining example of determination, bravery and courage should make the rest of us meer mortals realise that we can try harder, aspire to more and be gutsier and braver than we can ever imagine. The human spirit is truly amazing for when we cease to play our lesser selves and try, try and try again we can live as our greater self. A book to make you weak at the knees, truly humbled and yet somehow inspired. Wipe the tears from yor eyes and marvel at the amazing spirit which resides within us all. Hope springs eternal... and who knows what we can achieve if only we dare to try.
