Summary
This book is based on real-life events and is a raw and authentic account of a true fight for life and justice. A memoir of a mother’s love for her daughter, Rachel, who is diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy, a condition which makes her incapable of voluntary movement or speech.
It is an incredible story, which takes the listener from the beginning of Rachel’s life, to the present day, spanning a period of more than 30 years.
It is an open and honest journey of a special bond; a tale of anger, confusion, disability, and change, but also one of courage, experiences, inspiration, and resilience.
It tells of hopes and fears, and the true meaning of what it’s like to be the mother of a daughter with severe cerebral palsy. It portrays Rachel’s passion for life and her mischievous sense of fun.
Rachel’s story is one that deserves to be told.

What a story
This is such a moving and open story of a Mothers unfaltering love for her daughter Rachel. The fight for the truth was long and brutal and would have broken most people. I was shocked to the core by the way it could have been so different for Rachel and her devoted Mother.

A hard but inspiring read.
I found this to be a really hard listen, but so worth the time I have taken. If nothing it has left me with a huge amount of respect for the author and what she went through, I am not sure I would have had the same strength to carry on if I was in the same situation. The story is so well told, that I could just imagine the despair the author was feeling in her struggle against the health authority who had so badly let her and Rachel down.
There were times while I was listening that I felt could almost hear the sense of hopeless she was feeling at constantly being blocked at every turn by the red tape of bureaucracy. While all this, the one thing that shone through, was the author's love for her daughter.
Highly recommended that people should read/listen to this story. Truly inspiring.
