It was more than a hot July afternoon on the Chesapeake Bay. For Joni Eareckson Tada, it was a moment in eternity. In a split second, a diving accident transformed her life from that of a vivacious young woman to one that would be lived for the rest of her days from a wheelchair.
From that tragic beginning has emerged one of the most remarkable stories of our time-the story of faith's triumph over hardship and suffering that is Joni. Twenty years after its first publication, with over three million copies in print, Joni continues to inspire countless readers worldwide with its message of courage, hope, and grace.
