Janet Murray was born in a small South African town with four older brothers. She was a typical child with the usual childhood illnesses until a strange disease slowly stripped away her strength and mobility.

Now limited to using her right arm and hands, Janet has written a candid first-person account of her life, tracing the long journey to understanding and acceptance.

Through all the hardship and pain, Janet refused to give up and now willingly shares her life story to encourage others who suffer from illness or injury and non-disabled people who believe their challenges are too tough to overcome.
