Creating the memoir meant reflecting on the multitude of ways the accident affected Sophie, her life, relationships and even her own perceptions of disability in the past.

No matter how much you might want to, you can’t overcome your disability like you can override your fear.

There is such power in someone like Sophie, not because of how she adapted to her new life but the power lies in her raw honesty, in discussing every aspect of her life and her emotional and mental state. If I could make one person stop for a minute and reconsider what they thought about disability that would be a life goal fulfilled,” offers Sophie. “The reason for that is I had ideas about what disability meant before my accident and as much as they were very unconscious, they were also problematic. The book ends abruptly, but it feels like there is a sequel towards the end as there are things that Sophie didn’t go into at length like her partners and friends. Sophie's influence extends internationally as a global ambassador for Can-Am, Airbnb, and PADI, and a monthly columnist for Condé Nast Traveler.

In 2013, Morgan presented Licence to Kill, a documentary for BBC Three about road accidents like hers caused by young drivers. [19] The documentary won the Royal Television Society's award for Best Current Affairs film of 2013. [20] Tom Sutcliffe, for The Independent, described it as "an often heartbreaking film, focusing on the misery that follows road-traffic accidents and the terrifying insouciance of young people about their own survival." [21] Following broadcast of the film, Morgan teamed up with BBC Learning and Drive iQ to launch the Licence to Kill Schools Tour, visiting schools and colleges to promote young driver safety. [22] The tour was endorsed by organizations including Road Safety GB, Transport for London, and RoadSafe. [23] Sophie of course has to adapt to her new body and doesn’t shy away from detailing the difficulty of doing so, the book is really a story of finding an identity, a drive and a purpose in making society more inclusive. In 2015 Morgan travelled to Ghana, West Africa, to present The World's Worst Place To Be Disabled?, a documentary for BBC Three made as part of the channel's Defying the Label season. [24] [25] Nora Groce, an anthropologist working with people with disabilities in the developing world, described the documentary as "an accurate depiction of the life faced by millions of persons with disabilities". [26] She is best known for her role as one of the lead presenters of the Paralympic Games (Channel 4) for nearly a decade. We didn’t know where to turn and we made massive mistakes but we also learned that it’s ok to get it wrong, and you will get it wrong, but as long as you love each other and you can be honest with each other then it will be ok.” Reconsider

Sophie Morgan bares all in her controversial sequel to Diary of a Submissive, No Ordinary Love Story. All of the connections and relationships in my life shifted, some for the better and some for the worse, but I created stronger ones and new ones,” shares Sophie. “I think that relationships of every form are key to survival when you acquire a disability at a young age. In the wake of Fifty Shades of Grey, here is a memoir that offers the real story of what it means to be a submissive. From the endorphin rush of her first spanking right through to punishments the likes of which she couldn't begin to imagine, she explains in frank and explicit fashion the road she travels. But it isn't until she meets James that her boundaries are really pushed. As her relationship with him travels into darker and darker places the question becomes: where will it end? Can she reconcile her sexuality with the rest of her life and is it possible for the perfect man to also be perfectly cruel? In 2004, nine months after her accident, Morgan took part in the first series of BBC Two's Beyond Boundaries, which followed 11 disabled people on an expedition to traverse 220 miles across Nicaragua from its Atlantic coast to its Pacific coast. [14] [15] [16] She contracted amoebic dysentery in the jungle, requiring 5 days' hospitalisation, and was unable to complete the expedition. [2] A follow-up program, Beyond Boundaries: Where Are They Now?, was broadcast in 2009. [17] In my experience disability doesn’t just happen to the person that is living through it, it also happens to everyone around them,” reveals Sophie. “My family and I went through a learning curve and we didn’t know what we were doing, we had no idea.Morgan, Sophie; Greenwell, Daisy (5 September 2012).

That was very heavy but I had the most wonderful man as the sound engineer who sat in the booth with me for three days,” remembers Sophie. “It was very moving because I haven’t really told my story out loud to anybody before and there I was with this stranger who was so lovely. Although we do feel that Sophie has finally come to love her disabled body and is somewhat at peace with her former self, one of the most intriguing aspects of the book is tracing the relationship between the young Sophie and the adult Sophie and how it starts as resentment and blame but reaches a happy and somewhat peaceful end.

Racy, controversial, but always warm, fun and astoundingly honest this is a fascinating and thought provoking look at a seemingly paradoxical side to human nature and sexuality that no man or woman will be able to put down.If I’m honest I think I was slightly naïve in thinking that I can easily do this and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into,” reveals Sophie. “It was honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever done but the most worthwhile. Sophie Morgan is an independent woman in her thirties with a successful journalism career. Intelligent, witty and sarcastic, she could be the girl next door. Except that Sophie is a submissive; in the bedroom she likes to relinquish her power and personal freedom to a dominant man for their mutual pleasure. It was a hair-raising time full of unknowns and hand sanitiser, “the lowest I’ve ever been”. She filled the days writing a memoir, Driving Forwards. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I thought, ‘If you’re going to do this, do it honestly.’ I confessed to so many of the things that I had not confessed to in my real life. I kind of came out in my book: I explained the extent of my paralysis and how it impacted my sex life. I’d never talked honestly about that to any man. I was always too scared they were going to leave me.” The book is a searing read throughout, but what she says about sex is written very neutrally, and is absolutely heartbreaking. “Unable to feel two-thirds of myself,” she writes, “no matter how hard I have tried, the act of sex has still not been adapted satisfactorily enough to fully meet my needs … I can’t help but ask myself if it is ‘better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’, and when that applies to sex I would say the answer for me is an undeniable no.”
