Ann Campanella, once an active equestrian and horse trainer, has her life turned upside down by a traumatic shoulder injury that forces her to confront chronic pain, multiple surgeries, and the daunting challenge of rebuilding her future. Amidst these challenges, difficult enough as they are, she navigates the trials of the COVID-19 pandemic, the loss of loved ones, and saying goodbye to a beloved home.
With honesty and heartfelt reflection, Ann takes readers through the physical and emotional toll of losing the life she once knew. Her journey is not just about recovery—it’s about transformation. She shares the struggles of adapting to a new reality, the frustration of limitations, and her ultimate triumph. The Shoulder Season sends a universal message. Whether readers have faced their own injuries, chronic pain, or any life-altering event, Ann’s story serves as a beacon of hope. Her words offer encouragement to those navigating their own “shoulder season”—a time of transition, uncertainty, and reinvention. This memoir is both a personal testament and a guide, reminding us that even when life takes an unexpected turn, there is always a way forward. A must-read for anyone seeking inspiration in the midst of adversity.
