Whakaari White Island guide Kelsey Waghorn wasn't even rostered on to work on the December day when the volcano erupted killing 22 people and injuring 25 others.
Called up that morning, Kelsey was among the injured with life-threatening burns that saw her in an induced coma, facing multiple surgeries and a long drawn out physical recovery.
But it was the mental struggle which really threw her for a loop. Kelsey details her remarkable journey in a new book - Surviving White Island and everything that came after.
