It was the end of a long day and Trisha Meili, a young New York stockbroker, was just out for a run. At 9.35 p.m. on April 19, 1989, as she jogs alone near 102nd Street in Central Park, she is attacked, raped, savagely beaten and left for dead. She is found hours later by two men wandering the park. When she arrives in the emergency room her body temperature is 85 degrees, she's in a coma and has lost so much blood that the doctors simply cannot comprehend why she is still alive. I AM THE CENTRAL PARK JOGGER takes readers back to the scene of a harrowing crime and recounts the mesmerizing, often heart-wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery that involved a family, a hospital, a city, in fact an entire nation of supporters. But for Trisha the crime is not the climax, it's the beginning of her journey. This indelible, moving, tough-minded self portrait weaves the story of emergency room workers, doctors, nurses, investigators, family, colleagues, friends and strangers into a haunting narrative not about vengeance or hate but about hope and possibility, about the mystery of life and its ability to endure.

This is a book I could only read once. The story of the central park jogger was in the papers for along time and people still discuss it. Trisha Meili tells her story of surival and the heart breaking aftermath.
She was attacked by a group of young boys who bashed her head in with a rock. The book goes into detail concerning the trail. The book explainse how the defense argued that a fifteen year old does not know bashing someone with a brick can kill them. It is moments like this that anger the reader.
The book is also about stength and her fight for justice. This woman is a true inspiration. Telling of her pain and determination to get her life back. She puts a face and genuine emotion behind the news paper articles. This is one of the best books I've read in years.
