Five Steps To Happy- Ella Dove-Literary Fiction
A stunning debut novel. Heidi has gone out for a run and seen Alexander a friend. She has
just plucked up the courage to ask him out and she falls. As she tries to get up she realises
something is very wrong with her leg. Alexander calls the ambulance and then disappears.
When she wakes up in hospital she gets rather a shock. What transpires is a life changing
event, that sees her change her outlook on life and not take things for granted as most of
us do until something changes. The support of friends and family cannot be
underestimated but underneath it all there is only one person who can make the difference
and that is the person herself as Heidi soon realises. When life deals you lemons…
make lemonade. An inspirational read of true grit and determination. Of finding happiness
in things you never would have thought before hand and that small goals really do help
you taking that first step forward. Of friendships you would never have made and
relationships you thought were strong. Of our own determination in life and positive
mental attitude. I have my own 5** award for those special reads,(about 10% of
220+ books per year). The ones that have that certain extra something. This one
deserves it in spades. A beautiful moving story that I will remember for a very
long time. A brave, wonderful, uplifting read. One life- live it!

About the Book: An inspiring, life-enhancing novel that will make you see your life differently . . .
In May 2016, magazine journalist Ella Dove was out jogging with her sister when she tripped and
fell. Ella had fallen in such a way that her knee had dislocated and she also had a severe fracture.
The combination of these injuries cut off the blood supply to her foot. The devastating result was
the amputation of her right leg below the knee, five days after her fall. Life as she knew it was
changed forever, but through determination, resilience and a positive attitude, she transformed
unimaginable difficulty into an opportunity to grow and inspire others.
FIVE STEPS TO HAPPY is a novel inspired by Ella's life story about a struggling actress Heidi
whose life changes in an instant in a devastating accident. We learn how one unexpected
moment can change the direction of your life - sometimes even for the better. Through her
characters and their quest for happiness we learn the true value of resilience, humour and
strength in the face of trauma.
