About the Book

A catastrophic crash. A hidden ravine. And nearly seven days with no one coming to save him.

In Still Standing: The Seven Miracles of Matthew Reum, a real-life car accident transforms into a gripping true survival story that blends raw trauma, emotional depth, and unexpected humor. Trapped beneath a bridge in freezing conditions, with his left leg crushed and no way to call for help, Matthew Reum faces a harrowing fight to survive. However, this is not just a story about physical endurance; it is a journey through depression, ADHD, and Reactive Attachment Disorder, rooted in his early years in a Russian orphanage.

Through shattered glass and mental darkness, Matt discovers a surprising truth: resilience is built one small victory at a time. With a broken body and fading hope, he draws strength from memories, humor, and an unrelenting will to live. Readers witness his transformation from victim to survivor as he confronts his deepest fears, peels back decades of emotional pain, and reclaims his voice.

This book is perfect for fans of survival memoirs, mental health journeys, and adoption stories. It is a heartwarming and suspenseful tale that stands as a testament to the human spirit. If you are searching for a car accident memoir with grit, hope, and healing, this is your next read.

Do not miss this unforgettable journey of resilience, rediscovery, and the will to stand again.
