Book Descriptions:

Karen was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus and was paralyzed from the waist down. Life-saving surgery was performed when she was less than 24-hours-old and her chances of survival were slim. During her stay in Alder Hey Hospital's neo-natal unit, she contracted pneumonia three times and was not expected to live. But, against the odds, she recovered and her determined parents were adamant she would lead as full a life as her condition would allow. Supported by her family, she resolutely overcomes all of the challenges that life throws at her. She goes on to secure a job, drive her own car, and live in her own purpose-built flat. Then, she is stricken with more life-changing conditions that would further test her resolve. Often emotional, at other times funny, Karen's story is told by her father, David Verinder.
