This is a real-life story about a young woman who awoke one day to find, through no fault of her own, that her life had changed dramatically. Tracey was a young working mum. Now she has Locked-in Syndrome and this book is about how it changed her life. Tracey spelt out what she wanted to say using her eyes and a letter board. Other people typed it up, but these are Tracey's words and this is Tracey's story. Tracey tells of her experiences in hospitals and care homes and of various medical treatments, having to make profound adjustments to being disabled and unable to move or speak, but also having to find new ways of relating to her young daughter, to her parents and to her friends. This is a rare story because the challenges of living with Locked-in Syndrome are profound and are unique to each individual. Tracey's is a story of one woman's courage that will move readers and, at times, will provide insight for those who work with and care for people with severe disabilities.
