Shark Assault: An Amazing Story of Survival

by Peter Jennings and Nicole Moore

The story of a brutal shark attack that cost a woman her arm and much of her leg, and her death-defying recovery. One of the most dreadful experiences humans fear is a shark attack. This horrifying agony is exactly what happened to Nicole Moore, a nurse from Orangeville, Ontario. It was an assault all the more brutal for being so unlikely - she was standing in waist-deep water at a Mexican resort. She came very close to dying, losing 60 percent of her blood from deep bites on her arm and leg, and was rushed to a hospital where she received a questionable level of medical care that left her and her family confronting physical and mental anguish. Surviving gruesome misery, including the amputation of her left arm and attempts to rebuild her disfigured leg, she has fought on to become a source of inspiration for those facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.

I started and finished the book in less than 24 hours. It’s that kind of book. While Nicole Moore frequently talks about her moniker as “the shark lady,” reading this book will demonstrate she is so much more. From the devastating attack, to the trials and tribulations, it’s Nicole that shines as an absolute beacon of hope. If this book does not reset your views on the challenges you may be facing in life, you should try re-reading it. An absolute must-read about a woman without compare at the centre.
