✦ Synopsis

"When I felt his teeth hit my bone I thought he was going to break me" So what does it really feel like to be attacked by a shark or crushed in an ice crevasse? How does it feel to be brainwashed by a cult - or to weigh 231 kilos? Can you imagine what it's like to be shot in the head? If you think it could never happen to you, read on. These true-life stories tell of unexpected experiences with the extreme, the horrifying and the simply bizarre. In gripping detail, ordinary people recall how they survived almost insurmountable odds and what they discovered in life-defining moments. This compulsively readable collection shows the strength of the human spirit to tackle the unthinkable and rise to the challenge of extraordinary circumstances.
