'First published in 1957, June Opie's account of her battle to overcome polio became an instant best-seller and shot her to immediate international fame. She became an icon of her time, proving that with fearsome intelligence and determination, a fulfilling life is within every person's reach. The original book slightly abridged in Part One of this edition) covers her time in St Mary's Hospital, London, where she recuperated over two years.

The dust jacket has some sticker removal damage, but the book remains tight and bright.
