by Marguerite Godbout

Marguerite Godbout's book is about being born prematurely and the operations she had to help her walk. She tells about her problems, such as not being able to go to school because she lived so far away and she couldn't walk very well. In 1959 she moved from New Brunswick to Toronto and met a friend, Tommy. She spent twenty years with him. He showed her how uncrippled she could be and how to get around and do things. He left her after 20 years. At the end of the book, she picks up her life again. She goes back to school and carries on with her crafts.

This book gives us courage because if Marguerite can do it, so can we.
