True Grit and Grace tells the story of a woman’s life forever altered by a horrific motorcycle accident that shattered her right leg. Despite the initial recommendation to amputate, she endured 34 surgeries to save it. However, as a sexual abuse and divorce survivor, she determined to save not only her leg, but her career, her dreams, and her dignity. Amberly Lago’s unwavering commitment to regain her active lifestyle transformed her tragedy into victory. She motivates readers to find resilience in their own difficulties and is a fierce advocate for others who, like her, suffer from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Her story proves that any challenge can be overcome with the support of others, determination, a sense of gratitude, and belief in oneself.

5 out of 5 Inspirational Stars for this one!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2018

There can be no doubt that everyone’s life comes with their fair share of trials and tribulations. We can be on top of the world one minute, only to come crashing back down to earth the next. Yes, nothing hits quite as hard as life. It can be magnificent, as well as cruel. An example of the utter harshness of life occurs when people experience a life altering tragedy. It is frequently during these bleak times that people will ultimately determine their own fate. They can choose to succumb and capitulate to their devastating circumstance… or they can do the opposite. In her book, True Grit and Grace, Amberly Lago illustrates how she selected the latter. For those who may be seeking an inspirational read which explores the power of positive thinking and depth of the human spirit…this is the book for you!

True Grit and Grace is a non-fiction book which recounts the author’s real-life experiences. It is presented as a Memoir with the central event being a motorcycle accident which forever altered Amberly Lago’s existence. However, it does not solely focus upon this tragedy and the painful recovery process. The book also intertwines the past with the present as the author relives her childhood growing up in Greenville, Texas. From an awkward childhood stage, desperately looking to receive some sort of acknowledgement and recognition from her family, to her eventual career as an elite dancer and fitness trainer. There can be little doubt that her upbringing and past prepared Amberly Lago for what was yet to come. While the childhood abuse was quite difficult to read, it nevertheless gave verisimilitude to Ms. Lago’s perception and outlook on life.

Essentially, I read this book in one sitting. This is not something which I typically do with non-fiction work. However, I found the author’s accounts so riveting and genuine that I just kept reading! To weave her childhood experiences with those of her present-day life was pure genius from a literary perspective. It ensured the reader was able to fully comprehend and appreciate how someone could experience such a tragic and excruciatingly painful experience, and still be able to see the positive and beauty in life. It reminded me of my own Uncle who has since passed on from a terrible disease. He would always say that he was the luckiest man on the planet and was overwhelmingly grateful to be alive each and every day. He would say this while sitting in his wheelchair and with the aid of a computer voice system as his throat muscles were no longer working enough for him to speak. I could never really understand how he could be grateful when life had dealt him such a cruel blow. Reading Amberly Lago’s book brought in clarity from the outside for me and I can finally begin to make that connection.

Perhaps more than anything, this Memoir stands out as an entirely honest account of the author’s life. With the aid of the Internet and YouTube, you can watch all the motivational and inspirational speeches and clips your heart could ever desire. However, they are frequently just that…clips. Amberly Lago’s story is real, genuine and inspiring. To encounter such devastating pain, and still be able to approach life with overwhelming positivity and hope is no easy feat. She is also very frank and honest about her down times as well. She does not pretend to be superhuman and we are able to experience her ups and downs and raw emotions as the book progresses. As the reader it feels like we are actually there in the moment. That is what true engagement and sheer engrossment in a book is all about!

The writing in this work had a very smooth and natural flow to it. The progression was natural and at no time did it feel forced. All in all, I found this to be a very inspirational and motivating read. It brings a certain clarity to the difficulties and hardships of life which will be very valuable and useful to many a reader. When I am faced with particularly difficult times I will now proceed to tell myself to “cowgirl up” (well…I guess for me I should say “cowboy up”)!

The Tiny Glimpse of Hope I So Desperately Needed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

There are very few books I've read in a day, but Amberly's book was one. As a fellow CRPS warrior and advocate, I wholeheartedly empathize with what Amberly had to go through, especially after getting that life-changing diagnosis myself. As I read, I laughed with her, I cried with and for her, I related to her and her struggle, but more importantly, I was blown away by her determination, resilience, inner strength, and positive attitude. Her story helped to instill in me, for the first time since my own diagnosis, a tiny glimmer of hope. Not hope that there will be a cure or that my pain will diminish (though of course I desperately want those things more than anything); but hope that despite my circumstances, despite yet another struggle I've been given, I will be okay, and hopefully more than okay one day. I will persevere. I will share my story and help others. I will someday write a book. I will look for the many blessings in my life and be thankful. I will take it day-by-day, and try to make the most out of each day. I will not give up and succumb to this beast. So thank you, Amberly, for sharing your story and for helping me see a tiny glimpse of hope at the end of a seemingly very long and dark tunnel ahead. You are truly a warrior!

Amberly is the definition of resilience and strength

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2019

This quote in "True Grit and Grace" sums it up perfectly: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Henry Stanley Haskins

If you think you can't, think again. This book is beyond inspiring and Amberly is a living demonstration of true resilience and strength. Her story is proof that the power of changing your perception can carry us far down the road of healing. We can focus on what doesn't work, or what does. We can focus on what we can't do, or what we can. In our power to choose how we see our circumstances, lies our freedom.

The fact that Amberly could make a choice to see all of the blessings in her life and approach life in the spirit of gratitude for all that is good, despite living with CRPS and being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, is incredibly uplifting. I am so inspired. "True Grit and Grace" is so engaging I couldn't put it down. Thank you Amberly, for writing your story so we can all benefit. Next time I'm tempted to quit, I'm going to think of you and will keep going!

Inspirational, well written true story of the ultimate overcomer

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

The author shares her very difficult journey, in a super well written format which leaves you in awe, and inspired. As if it were not enough that she survived a life-threatening motorcycle accident, where are the doctors wanted to amputate her leg, she details how she continues to deal with a lifelong pain condition with grit and grace, meaning with determination and a positive outlook. No one has ever heard of CRPS, complex regional pain syndrome, nor would you want to have any first-hand knowledge of what they call the “suicide disease “. I encourage you to read this book, and apply her techniques for overcoming the worst that life throws at you.
