'Accidents Don't Happen' is a book spanning three continents that tells the story of how Miss Sadler had her left arm torn off in a car accident deep in the Australian Outback, was found bleeding to death on the side of a dirt-track road (100 miles south of Darwin) by some Aborigines.....and goes on to impart the 'warts and all' account of her road to recovery that ended up with her becoming Britain's first one-armed woman pilot.

Sales have so far proved to be astonishing. People have said that they have laughed and cried their way through the book and have finished feeling inspired to 'conquer the world'.

...By some supreme feat of psychological strength, (Ms Sadler) has overcome the trauma of having her arm torn off in the middle of the Australian Outback and bridged the yawning divide, by becoming Britain's first one-armed woman pilot....she believes to this day that she owes her life to the Aborigine who found her...but the book isn't really about her or the accident. It is about Destiny...Accidents Don't Happen. -- Darlington and Stockton Times
