Weaving Dreams - Softcover

Reseña del editor

It was January 2003. Noel Donegan, penniless and filled with despair following the break-up of his marriage, had almost thrown himself in front of a train. Luz Java raped at the age of 15 and forced to marry her rapist had escaped a lifetime of abuse and fear in the Philippines to find a new life in Ireland. Their chance meeting in a bookshop was to transform their lives. Noel and Luz fell in love. Without a penny to their name, they could not even afford to buy Noel's sister a birthday card so Luz made one by tearing up a magazine and weaving the strips together. In a moment of inspiration, they realised that this could be the answer to their prayers. They invented a toy, Paper FX Dream Weaver, which has now won many major toy awards and has sold over 150,000 units worldwide. Now, they share their success through a charity that builds schools in the Philippines. Weaving Dreams tells the story of how two people fell in love and, against all the odds, built a dream.
