Small in stature, large in presence, and always in charge, Joanne Greene anchored the news and hosted talk shows on San Francisco radio while totally devoted to her family and Jewish community — until a traumatic accident suddenly removed her ability to control anything.
By Accident is a story of resilience and perseverance, of will and pluck, and of positivity and gratitude for lessons learned – even as the personal hits just keep on coming.
“This is an amazing book, harrowing, deeply human, and charming. I absolutely could not put it down. ”
