Prior to the accident, Morgan had planned to study law at the University of Manchester. [8] [2] [9] Having returned to live with her parents in Brighton, she instead opted to study art at the City College Brighton & Hove [10] After completing her art foundation course, she started a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. [9] [8] [11] [12] During her degree, a second career opportunity arose, as she was asked to participate in an expedition across Nicaragua ( Beyond Boundaries, BBC 2004). She later obtained a diploma in arts therapy from the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education. TV challenge for team travelling into the unknown". The Yorkshire Post. 11 October 2005 .

She was building a body of work: the BBC reality show Britain’s Missing Top Model (in which eight women with disabilities competed to win a prize fashion magazine shoot); Licence to Kill, a BBC documentary about young drivers and road accidents (which won best current affairs film at the Royal Television Society awards in 2013). “But there was no opportunity for me to be on telly. I was always told, ‘Why you? Why would you be the person to tell this story? If it’s about disability, you can do it.’” I tell her about Dan Hodges, the journalist who lost the sight in one eye when he tried to stop a brawl in a bar in the 90s. He kept getting bumped off debate programmes, and a TV producer friend told him it was because of his “irrelevant left eye”. If the story was about knife crime, he would be relevant. If it was about anything else, what was his irrelevant eye doing on the panel? Morgan says she has had the same experience: the go-to for a disability documentary – she also made one about the experience of being disabled in Ghana – but “there were other things I wanted to talk about”.
The book itself is split into three parts and that in itself felt quite natural because there’s before my injury, during where I was doing rehabilitation and then the rest of my life, and it does feel like it’s very much compartmentalised like that,” shares Sophie. “I don’t think I could have done this at any other time of my life.” The blurb of the book description reads: “On the precipice of starting her adult life, aged 18, Sophie, a rebellious and incorrigible wild child, crashed her car and was instantly paralysed from the chest down.Welcome to Paranormal Romance!

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. Sophie Morgan bares all in her controversial sequel to Diary of a Submissive, No Ordinary Love Story. Yet there is a need to see what life is like beyond the self-acceptance and love that Sophie has found. Tate, Gabriel (18 September 2016).

The book is essentially a mixture of a memoir and reflection of the past and the present, Sophie takes the reader through her life journey as we share her ups and downs, positive and negative experiences, but most importantly, we ‘live’ her self-discovery path and this is certainly reflected in the flow and rhythm of the book. Because no matter how strong we may believe ourselves to be, no matter how resilient and determined we are, some situations, we have no choice but to surrender that fight, to do our best to let go. She silently endures discomfort and inadequate disabled facilities in case she loses friends or work. 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.
To a reader, Sophie’s book is a story of strength, family and rediscovering her identity, but for her it also marks the end of a portion in her life. No matter how much you might want to, you can’t overcome your disability like you can override your fear. Just like sometimes you can’t win the battle with cancer or keep fighting with chronic fatigue.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 2018 Morgan co-hosted a British Channel 4 TV series, Best Laid Plans, with architectural designer Charlie Luxton. They came to the aid of homeowners whose domestic renovation projects had hit problems, helping the couples resolve their differences and come to decisions on how to proceed with their projects. The show lasted for one season. [27] 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.
