FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Extraordinary Strength
of a Woman Abandoned to Die
New Book Is the Amazing
Story of Surviving Day by Day – and Forgiveness
At the age of thirty-five, Zoe
Moraga – a legal expert in European Relations – had a bad accident while
skiing. This made her companions laugh at first, but then frightened them,
causing these only witnesses to flee. Zoe was left alone on the snowy trail, in
danger of internal hemorrhaging or of being unable to move, paralyzed. Abandoned and unaware that there had even
been an accident because of posttraumatic amnesia, she gathered the last of her
strength and spirit to escape from the harsh mountain cold and embark on a
fourteen-year journey of recovering from her medical disabilities. Every Day Is a Life is
Every Day Is a Life is an
extraordinary story of human strength, determination, and forgiveness that
includes an experience with groundbreaking orthopedic innovations—achievements
that attributed to Moraga’s recovery from her cranial trauma, posttraumatic
partial amnesia and rediscovery of her strength and equilibrium in the spine,
arms, pelvis and legs – in other words, from head-to-toe. As well as being a
true story of suspense, this book is an inspirational testimony of medical and
personal triumph – delivering a concrete message of regeneration and practical
guidance for everybody.
[The release of Every Day is a
Life immediately follows the month of November and “Jaw Joints – TMJ –
Awareness Month”, a Congressional Proclamation thanks to the hard work
of “Jaw Joints & Allied Musculo-Skeletal Disorder Foundation Inc.” Every
November brings official recognition of these two precious joints of our body.]

About the Author
Zoe Moraga’s skiing accident
caused cranial trauma, with a strong impact to the base of the head, whiplash
and partial amnesia; the pelvis was equally impacted. This caused critical
damage to her jaw joints, which was later exacerbated by routine dental
treatment. After her solo escape from
the mountains, she spent almost fourteen years searching for a diagnosis and a
cure, without a hospital-journey. She kept one essential part of herself
intact: this was her deep, strong belief in God’s awareness, giving sense to
everything in life; she was sure that one day, she will discover the truth.
Her determination led her
throughout
A subject directly touching a 120
year-old taboo of the Medical School, Moraga discovered the enormous lack of
knowledge, worldwide, about jaw joint functions by professionals from the
Medical School and, of course, by people in general. Step-by-step, she became
aware that she had the right story to propel her testimony to help others. So
for Zoe, life moves forward again: by her wonderful recovery, she and her best
friend Dyana Jones desire to aid the research and advocacy by others
(professionals and Foundations…) of jaw joint functions, to make people aware
of their proper body and its possibilities to recover. Over 60 million
Americans are concerned, worldwide numbers would be difficult to calculate. Every
Day is a Life bears witness as the first testimony in
