NEW YORK, NY, February 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Surviving a near-death experience is often hailed as a miracle, but for Chelsea Elizabeth, survival was merely the beginning of a brutal, unyielding psychological war. Franklin Publishers is proud to announce the release of "That One Shattered Day," a gripping memoir that bridges the gap between a harrowing physical tragedy and the complex psychological thriller of recovery.

On an ordinary August afternoon, Chelsea Elizabeth's life was violently upended in a single, catastrophic moment. While performing a routine task, she was mauled by a rescue Great Dane she had adopted just three weeks prior. The attack left her with extensive injuries, including a complete scalp degloving, missing tissue, and the loss of her ears. She coded twice and was revived by trauma teams, only to wake up to a reality more terrifying than the attack itself—the realization that her previous life was gone forever.

Beyond the Physical Wounds "That One Shattered Day" moves beyond the sterile hospital corridors to expose the "afterlife" of trauma—a world of financial ruin, institutional betrayal, and the "mangled enough" standard of sympathy. Chelsea details the exhausting cycle of insurance approvals and reversals, the hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt, and the realization that institutions often view a victim's pain as a commodity for profit.

The memoir serves as a raw exploration of abandonment and exploitation. Chelsea recounts the chilling experience of being abandoned by a "loyal" partner in her darkest hour and facing a sister who walked away on Thanksgiving Day. The book challenges society's narrow "boxes" of normalcy and asks the uncomfortable question: Do people truly care, or do they just want to witness the downfall?

A Testimony of Resilience Despite the "cascading systems" that tighten around a survivor, Chelsea's story is ultimately one of reclaiming self-worth. Through training as a lifeline and the unconditional love of her faithful Great Dane, Luna, she illustrates that healing is not about returning to the past, but about building something new from the ruins.
