Publisher's Synopsis
In 1963, Bill Northcutt's life took an unexpected turn-not once, but twice-in a matter of days. The first was when he faced his Selective Service physical and the second when a hunting trip turned into a harrowing fight for survival.
Shot twice in a freak accident with a .44 Magnum rifle, he endured trauma that would challenge the strongest of men. The ordeal left him hospitalized for one hundred grueling days, only to face yet another battle two hundred and fifty days later when the bullet lodged in his spine was finally removed.
Twice Tested is not just a story of medical prowess and human resilience-it's a testament to the power of community, faith, and compassion. Set in a small Tennessee town, his recovery journey is interwoven with acts of extraordinary kindness from strangers who embraced his family during their darkest days. From carrying his injured body through the dense forest, to an outpouring of generosity where his family was told, "Your money is no good here," this story documents a town's unwavering commitment to helping a stranger in need.
This remarkable true story captures the drama of split-second decisions, the strength to endure unimaginable pain, and the beauty of humanity in its purest form. Through trials and tribulations, Bill's journey becomes a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of grace.
Perfect for readers who are inspired by stories of survival, hope, and faith, Twice Tested is a heartfelt narrative that will leave you in awe of the strength of the human spirit and the goodness of people in unexpected places.
