About this listen

Acclaimed actor Jeremy Renner narrates his gripping and inspiring story of a near-fatal accident and what he learned about inner strength, endurance and hope as he overcame insurmountable odds to recover, one breath at a time. This program includes a note written and read by his daughter, Ava.

“Renner’s description of his recovery is life affirming and just pretty incredible. His narration is particularly harrowing. There are occasional cuts to 911 calls on the day of the incident, and you can even hear Renner fighting to stay alive in the background. I’m of the mind that not every celebrity needs a memoir, but this one’s worth it.”—Vulture

"With audible emotion Renner navigates his reflections on life and death…Enhancing the audio are the original 911 interactions as the accident unfolded.”—AudioFile

Two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner was the second-most-googled person in 2023—and not for his impressive filmography. His searing portrayals on film ranged from an Iraq-based army bomb technician in The Hurt Locker and a Boston bank robber in The Town to a crooked Camden mayor in American Hustle before he became heir to the Jason Bourne franchise (The Bourne Legacy). Amongst other iconic roles, he also captured hearts as fan-favorite comic book marksman Hawkeye in seven Marvel films.

Yet, his otherworldly success on-screen faded to the periphery when a fourteen-thousand-pound snowplow crushed him on New Year’s Day 2023. Somehow able to keep breathing for more than half an hour, he was subsequently rushed to the ICU, after which he would face multiple surgeries and months of painful rehabilitation.

In this debut memoir, Jeremy describes in blistering detail his accident and the aftermath. This retelling is not merely a gruesome account of what happened to him; it’s a call to action and a forged companionship between listener and author as Jeremy recounts his recovery journey and reflects on the impact of his suffering. Ultimately, Jeremy’s memoir is a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to endure, evolve, and find purpose in the face of unimaginable adversity. His writing captures the essence of profound transformation, exploring the delicate interplay between vulnerability and strength, despair and hope, redemption and renewal.

I’ve always thought Jeremy was an excellent actor. I followed him for a long time. But this book, the honesty, the humor, the obstacles no one I know could have overcome, takes my respect for him to a much higher level. He makes me want to not be such a whiner when I was injured in an accident two years ago. Amazing fantastic job!

Honest! Listened twice! Inspiring!

Jeremy’s truth to himself and the reader is felt every step of the way. I was moved from
The first moment and felt the emotions pour through. I want to share this with my 14 year old daughter so she can hear not only the beauty that comes from this tragedy but also the gift of failure and finding a source of strength to keep pushing on.

Raw emotion and inspiration that will stay with me forever.

I am a HUGE fan and knew I had to have this book. So I purchased a signed copy which I don’t even have yet! I also KNEW I had to listen to the audio version and I am so glad I did. Listening to Jeremy retell the tale of the incident is incredible and will absolutely have you in tears, which I definitely was a few times.
