Jessica Elizabeth Taylor was born in Listowel, Co. Kerry, Ireland. She owned and operated a Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio in Toronto until her tragic accident in 1969. Although suffering a severe brain injury that took years to overcome, she now presents seminars and is President of her 'New Beginnings Foundation' on Vancouver Island. She is affiliated with many head-injury support groups around the world and has received extensive radio, print and TV coverage. In addition, she has attracted the support of many high-profile notables like Vanessa Redgrave, The Duchess of York, and Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson.
Jessica's accident and life struggle led to one of the longest court battles in Canadian history; a battle marred by collusion and fraud, making both legal and medical history. She wrote about the legal battle and her against-the-odds recovery in an earlier autobiography, which she self published in Ireland. As a result, hundreds of head-injured families turned to her for help. From this, she wrote her updated story, From Tragedy To Triumph; Journey Back From The Edge. Her book includes a Petition to world governments with ten articles for the betterment of people with head and brain-injury. A heart-breaking reality known as the 'silent epidemic.'
Jessica is on a worldwide campaign to educate people and bring attention to the plight of the head and brain-injured.
"Endorsed by Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, actress Vanessa Redgrave, and health activist organizations all over the world, F rom Tragedy to Triumph, in Jessica's own heartfelt words, is a true story of struggle, adversity and triumph. Her story will not only open your eyes, but also your heart."
