Life is a gift

In this book, former Formula One racing driver María de Villota recounts the 180 degree turn her life took after the fatal accident that happened during aerodynamic tests conducted with her Formula One team during the summer of 2012 and which left her with serious injuries. Far from becoming discouraged, her tenacity and courage proved more powerful than that tragic event.
