Cindi Broaddus didn't realize that her life was about to be forever altered as she sat in the passenger seat of a car on a lonely highway, speeding toward the airport in the early morning hours of June 5, 2001. A single mother of three and a delighted new grandmother, she was thinking only of her well-earned vacation when a gallon jar of sulfuric acid, tossed from an overpass by an unknown assailant, came crashing through the windshield. In a heartbeat, Cindi was showered with glass and flesh-eating liquid, leaving her screaming in agony and burned almost beyond recognition. A Random Act is the riveting firsthand account of a brutal and senseless attack and its aftermath. Much more than one remarkable woman's chronicle of an unthinkable tragedy and amazing recovery, Cindi's story is one of hope and transcendence, born of a conscious and dedicated determination to turn a nightmarish experience into something positive and uplifting. Her unforgettable journey back to life and a gloriously renewed sense of purpose offers illuminating truths about love, healing, and the astounding power of choice.

This is a heart warming story about a woman’s survival to live. Cindi’s horrible ordeal and her journey back to life took tremendous strength to survive. She was seriously injured by the attack of toxic violence and for a time it was unknown if she would survive. Without any warning, a gallon jug filled with sulfuric acid came crashing through her windshield while driving beneath an underpass on the highway. Cindi was splattered with glass and drenched with sulfuric acid which caused severe burns all over her body.
This is a very moving story about how she went through years of recuperation and an endless number of skin grafts which were very painful. I felt through her character she had shown great strength and inspiration to all the people around her because she had so much courage and determination during her recovery. I believe being Dr. Phil’s sister-in-law gave her the comfort and attitude she needed to move on with her life.
Like I said the story was inspirational but I felt the story was repetitive a lot about how brave she was. For a short story it was every bit about her. What about Jim Maxwell? He was the driver of the car and he also was burned and a victim but there was not much said about him or his recovery. I guess he’ll have to write his own book….Plus, the family member were also brave and sacrificed a lot through the years of their mother’s recovery.
I’m happy and moved by Cindi’s story and hope life brings her the happiness she deserves. Yet, others should have got some admiration too….
