What it Uncovers
I am impressed by Shane’s story. It is one of honesty and sincerity and innate goodness. His life’s challenges peel away the protective coverings we surround ourselves with to reveal genuineness and deep humanity. Read the book. You will find compassion, humanity, and a lifetime of growth.

What it Deepened
I couldn't put it down. … Chapter 19 touched my heart and had me in tears. It gave me a new perspective on my faith in the Atonement. It came at a moment when I truly needed it.

What it Changes
I had the blessing of reading “After Survival “ and being drawn into the intriguing life lessons learned when childhood innocence is shattered by unyielding reality. My own perspective of life was deepened, strengthened, and comforted by the courage and integrity of Shane as he shares his heart. This well written and easily understood message of hope will give anyone a fresh view of life itself.

Meet The Founder
Shane Neilsen
Author • Speaker • Co-Founder, Neilsen Storyworks
At ten years old, a devastating accident changed the course of my life. Years later, I came to understand that surviving the impossible was only the beginning. Writing AFTER SURVIVAL™ taught me that every life holds a story worth preserving, and that those stories can strengthen families, inspire hope, and leave a legacy.
That belief is why my wife, Randi, and I founded Neilsen Storyworks. My hope is simple: that every reader leaves believing their own story still matters.
