A classic, “triumphant” (Entertainment Weekly) storyline of therapeutic and restoration from the victim of a bad crime that surprised the nation: the Central Playground Jogger.
Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Apr 19, 1989, a young woman jogs by themselves near 102nd Avenue in New York City's Central Playground. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and remaining for dead. Hours later she arrives at the disaster room—comatose—she has lost very much blood that her doctors imagine it’s a wonder she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Playground Jogger.
I Am the Central Playground Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching storyline of human strength and transcendent restoration. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour mag, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Avenue professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a female who learned how to read, write, walk, speak, and love again...and change horrifying violence and certain loss of life into extraordinary therapeutic and victorious life. With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s issues….Meili’s storyline—the story the general public never recognized—is remarkable” (The Buffalo Media).
