I have never read any literature as moving as this manuscript. I was laughing and crying at the same time. This book gave me the strength to face each day to overcome my anxieties. To see Helen and Eugene so happy and so loving was a permanent lesson in love and hope. Dr Anne Hughes This is a gripping, gutsy tale of sadness, stress and sheer exhaustion following a freak accident, that left Eugene a paraplegic, and Helen as his carer. Their recount of their experiences after this event is very compelling reading. Dr Rick Hughes
