"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion. The potential for greatness lives within each of us" - Wilma Rudolph (USA), Olympic Museum, Lausanne. This is the story of a South African family facing trials, tribulations and medical challenges that sound quite fabricated at times but rising up beyond all expectations despite the odds being heavily stacked against them. As we navigate our way through cardiac arrests, a violent home invasion and a horrific car accident, the full spectrum of emotions is covered. This witty, dramatic, charming and terrifying memoir of a family that, for some inexplicable reason, does not experience much in half-measures is uplifting and inspiring. Sometimes, there is light at the end of the darkest tunnel.
