What the survivors of 'The Miracle on the Hudson' want others to know about second chances.

"Brace for impact." Three simple words that proclaimed to all 150 passengers on board US Airways Flight 1549 on that cold, crisp New York afternoon of January 15 that their plane was about to go down in the icy Hudson River. Three simple words that churned up their fear that the next two minutes would be their final moments here on earth, and spurred their most heart-felt, spontaneous prayers.

We all know what happened next. The story of Captain "Sully" Sullenberger's miraculous landing, the heroic acts of first responders, and the images of 150 grateful souls stepping off those water-coated wings to safety with nothing worse than soggy clothes and minor injuries has touched the world. Hundreds of high-profile media accounts and recent documentaries have recounted the ins and outs of this stunning tale of survival against all odds.

But there is a different, more meaningful, and more timely story that has yet to be fully told. What happened to these passengers when they went home to their families, their homes, their jobs, and everything else familiar but somehow not the same? What has been the real impact, not of a disastrous crash but instead the gift of a "new" life? What can any of us learn from the honest and open sharing of ordinary people who came back from the brink of death? BRACE FOR IMPACT answers these questions and more by taking readers inside the hearts, minds, and souls of twenty-two passengers and what life is like after near death.This inspirational book is designed to stir, encourage, and uplift anyone already moved by this stunning near-death experience and anyone seeking messages of hope or seeds of purpose and meaning during today's troubled times.
