From the cab of a 50-ton haul truck to the front lines of workplace safety, Backbone of Grit is the unforgettable true story of a woman who refused to let pain, loss, or doubt define her.
Born with Poland Syndrome and later diagnosed with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and a spinal compression fracture, Carol Spurlock was never supposed to make it in the rough world of heavy equipment. But she did-through stubborn grit, endless resilience, and the will to prove that strength isn't just physical.
Carol takes readers through the hard-won milestones of her life: growing up in small-town Texas, losing loved ones too soon, failing forward through college and dead-end jobs, and finally discovering purpose behind the wheel of a haul truck and beyond. Along the way, she faced judgment, injury, heartbreak, and the kind of invisible battles most people never see-but she kept showing up.
Now working toward a career in field safety, Carol shares her story for every person who's ever been told "you can't"-and proved otherwise.
This is not just a memoir. It's a message:
You don't need to be pain-free to be powerful.
You just need a backbone full of grit.
