Most of this family memoir was written between the years of 1970 and 1974, but it was finally completed long after the deaths of Gillian and both her parents. Gillian lived till the age of 22, but she never walked because she had been born in 1950 with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. This book is partly a tribute to her vivacious spirit and bravery, but it is also a massive tribute to the remarkable dedication of her parents. It is inconceivable that without their massive love and devotion that Gill would have survived beyond 8-10 years of age. This book will hopefully be an inspiration to others who have similar challenges to deal with.
