Every Cloud: Perspective Is Everything by Greg Sumner is an inspiring and deeply moving account of resilience, renewal and the power of perspective in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Greg writes with raw honesty about losing a parent, but the heart of the book comes from the devastating car crash that changed his life forever. Once a self-confessed bad boy, Greg was left paralysed and facing a bleak and uncertain future.
What could have defined him in bitterness and despair instead became the turning point for transformation. His story is not just about survival, but about choosing hope, positivity and strength in circumstances that would break many others.
As a full time NHS nurse, I found this book profoundly meaningful. In my work, I witness the physical and emotional aftermath of life changing events, and I see how trauma can shatter identity.
Greg’s courage in sharing his own loss and his determination to rebuild a life of meaning resonated deeply with me. His journey demonstrates that while we cannot control everything that happens to us, we can always choose our response, and that choice can be life saving.
What sets this book apart is Greg’s ability to balance pain with humour, honesty with optimism, and devastation with growth. He does not gloss over the heartbreak, but he shows that a new life, different but no less valuable, can emerge from tragedy.
A powerful and redemptive story, Every Cloud is a reminder that perspective truly is everything. It is a book that will stay with me both personally and professionally, and one I will recommend widely.
The book is out now and available to purchase. Read more at The Secret Book Review.
