Book excerpt: Daniel R. Williams reveals the amazing grace of a loving God who, when He indwells our hearts, minds, and souls, gives strength beyond measure for all life's trials. Polio is a disease little understood today, and near becoming a mere footnote in history. In 1953, more American children died of paralytic Poliomyelitis than any other communicable disease. Thankfully, as a result of Drs. Salk and Sabin's vaccines, 1957 was one of its last ravages. For those who knew this affliction first hand, it represents a catastrophic loss of freedom to move, walk, and in some cases, breathe without assistance. This book is the author's account of defying all odds to survive this life-shaping illness; struggling with chronic problems that complicated paralysis; maturing to adulthood, and living a meaningful life. The reader will acquire knowledge of a paralytic disease that has an estimated 600,000 American survivors; experience daily struggles to regain lost ability to move, eat, and breathe; laugh as a teenage boy's bravado carries him from desperation to independence; weep as further physical injuries compound his situation; joy as he rediscovers his faith; and share triumph on his wedding day.
