A deeply moving true story of how a father and son used tragedy to transform their relationship
In the pit of my stomach, as I kissed my four-year-old son Lio and my darling wife Sasha goodbye, I knew something was up. By that evening, the police had told me about the crash.
Lio's bright and talented mother was killed that day, and he narrowly escaped the same fate. But instead of it being an ending for us, the crash was a beginning.
Lio's miraculous recovery from severe brain damage and a coma defied medical science. As I witnessed his astonishing journey—from intensive care bed to 10 Downing Street—and fought to pull him through horrific injuries and the loss of his mother, I found real purpose and meaning for the first time in my life.
Here is the story of four-year-old Lio's incredible recovery, and how his father Martin and he rebuilt their lives. Much more than a moving personal story, the book is a guide for not just surviving disaster, but mastering it and using it to transform one's life for the better.
