Taking Steps - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Helen Sims was born in November 1981. She has had Cerebral Palsy since birth, and cannot walk or stand unaided. Age 14, she had major orthopaedic operations, spending almost four months in hospital, (100 miles from home), and had to learn to walk from scratch. The surgeries were the start of a battle with clinical depression. Helen is a passionate and outspoken campaigner for disability rights. She has been trying to raise awareness of the realities of life with a disability, hoping she can help people understand better, since she was eight years old. She loves to write, and has been a member of her local Writer's Circle, the 'Somerscribes', for over 20 years. She is determined to turn everything bad that has happened to her into something positive, something which she hopes will help others.
