British journalist Melanie Reid tells the story of her recovery from a spinal injury that left her tetraplegic and coming to terms with living life with disability.

When we think about disability, we usually don't consider it as something that could happen to us or those close to us.

Many of us take our ability to move for granted and try not to think about the possibility of having to use a wheelchair or other mobility aid.

Yet in the UK alone, an estimated 2,500 people are paralyzed each year due to severe spinal cord injuries.

In 2010, award-winning British journalist Melanie Reid injured her neck and back in a horse-riding accident.

In The World I Fell Out Of, Reid recounts her process of rehabilitation and learning to live with tetraplegia.
