It is April 14th 2000, 88 years to the day that the Titanic hit the Iceberg. Rushing to a meeting, Toronto Financial Planner Janet Freedman misses her step and plunges head first to the ground. Paralysed with a partially severed spinal cord, it takes more than six months of hospitalization and two years of intensive and exhausting therapy for Janet to resume her life. It was this unfortunate series of events that led to HIT BY AN ICEBERG: Coping with Disability in Mid-Career.


HIT BY AN ICEBERG: Coping with Disability in Mid-Career was co-written with Marie Howes, also a financial planner and close friend who held power of attorney for Janet during her disability. This powerful resource book gives comprehensive information gleaned first hand about how to cut the red tape to find the essential resources required when faced with a disability. More importantly, it provides invaluable information on how readers can protect themselves and their families, "before," as Janet says, "they are hit by an iceberg."

HIT BY AN ICEBERG: Coping with Disability in Mid-Career is a functional guide for people who are disabled, as well as their families, friends, and colleagues, and the financial planners, lawyers, and health care and other professionals who will help them to put their lives back together again.
