Author Information

"Strength and dexterity are not about how much you can withstand but how often you can stand up after finding yourself on the ground. That has been the motto of Jessica Elizabeth Taylor and she owes her brushes with success to it. Born in Ireland, Jessica tasted fame early when she became a professional child actor and an award-winning step-dancer. In the fifties, while nursing at an institution in Surrey, Jessica tended to two royal sisters, Katherine and Nerissa, who were portrayed in the Netflix series, ""The Crown."" Jessica successfully opened a Merle Norman cosmetic studio in Ontario, Canada, in September 1969. Two months later, she became a survivor of a life-threatening head injury, which inspired her to initiate a Brain Injury Awareness Campaign in 1992. Additionally, her memoir, From Tragedy to Triumph: Journey Back from the Edge, has inspired and given hope to thousands around the world including royalty. Apart from appearing on several radio and TV shows, such as ""Hidden Heroes"" (Canada) and ""Nationwide"" (Ireland), her campaign has been honored by several celebrities, such as Mary Robinson, a former President of Ireland, and Sarah Ferguson."
