Synopsis

A stunning and unexpected tale of tragedy, survival, and true beauty. For fashion journalist Lauren (“LoLo”) Scruggs, a short flight to look at Christmas lights turned into a nightmare when she was struck by the plane’s spinning propeller blades. As Lauren was rushed to the hospital, fighting for her life, the world watched in shock and horror. Several major surgeries and thousands of prayers later, Lauren was still alive. But she had suffered brain trauma and lost her left hand and left eye. Some thought that this would be the end of everything for her, a beautiful young woman working in an industry focused completely on appearance. They were wrong. In Still LoLo, Lauren reveals what really happened that night, how she survived against all odds, and what her life is like today. She is unflinchingly honest in the face of difficult questions: What kind of future will I have? Will anyone be able to love me now? Where is God in all this pain? Through her story, Lauren calls us all to live a life without fear and to overcome whatever challenges threaten to limit us. Containing personal stories from Lauren and her family, Still LoLo is a compelling and fiercely beautiful account of faith, determination, and staying true to who you are — no matter what.

When I first started reading Still Lolo: a Spinning Propeller, a Horrific Accident, and a Family’s Journey of Hope, I didn’t want to like Lauren Scruggs. I don’t know why but I didn’t want to cheer for her. Of course, that changed as soon as I started reading her story. December 3, 2011, (that’s one......more

The propeller still swinging, Lauren on the tarmac, lying crumpled on her face, her left arm underneath her body. I couldn't see any of her arm or hand. Mike was already crouched next to her.
