This book is the life story of Daphne Brown who, having as a child survived the war, contracted polio, which affected her spine. She had to wear a spinal brace, and was told by the hospital consultant that she would never be able to work. Against all odds she spent years in multicultural education, 25 as a headteacher, then graduated as a counsellor and worked with the N. H. S. in primary care and voluntarily in a hostel for homeless young people. She travelled widely and developed her own charity raising money for boreholes providing fresh drinking water, in Africa. It is a moving account of hope and perseverance.
