Summary

After a horrific and tragic Amtrak train crash in Philadelphia 2015, eight passengers died and many severely injured. Geralyn was thrown from the train with such force that she sustained catastrophic injuries to her chest, abdomen and her pelvis, she was not expected to survive. The irony was that she worked as a senior leader of a global healthcare pharmaceutical company, who also helped her to heal, which took years of emotional and physical therapy. I have worked with Geralyn for many years helping women around the world as mothers. This is her incredible and inspirational story of resilience and repairing "Bone by Bone", also the title of her book.
