On a sunny Sunday afternoon in June 2013, performer Pat Henman and her 19-year-old daughter, Maia, were involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. Their injuries were severe, necessitating their transfer from a small hospital in Cranbrook to a larger facility in Calgary. Pat was revived multiple times, while Maia suffered extensive limb fractures, leading doctors to induce a coma for over a week. Their recovery involved months of hospitalization and numerous surgeries—Pat endured nineteen in just the first week, and Maia emerged with permanent disabilities. This marked the start of a prolonged and painful journey for their family, navigating the complexities of insurance claims, a criminal trial against the impaired driver, and a flawed legal system. Pat's memoir candidly recounts the accident and their ongoing fight for justice, not just for her family but for all victims. Amidst grief, the narrative highlights resilience and recovery. Despite sustaining damage to her vocal cords and a permanent shoulder injury, Pat, in her late fifties, has shown remarkable determination to return to her passion for performing. This powerful story illustrates how love, community support, and compassion can lead to survival in the face of adversity.
