"A Bridge to Recovery", a new book by William Marshall, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

William Marshall's life took a dramatic turn when a motorcycle accident resulted in the loss of his left foot at the age of 32. The physical trauma was only the beginning; grief, self-doubt, and emotional devastation followed closely behind. What began as a personal tragedy slowly evolved into a profound journey of healing, resilience, and reinvention.

In his inspiring new book, "A Bridge to Recovery", Marshall shares his path from despair to acceptance, and ultimately, to a life filled with unexpected joy and creative fulfillment. With unwavering support from loved ones, a deep well of humor, and a renewed dedication to his art, Marshall transformed what could have been a lifelong sorrow into a powerful story of recovery and hope.

Rather than remain stuck in grief, Marshall chose to "aim at a new target", one not defined by physical limitation but by possibility. His story is a moving reminder that loss, while painful, can also be a gateway to strength and rediscovery.
