About this book
'Until, perhaps, one day we realise what we first thought was a disaster, the worst thing that could happen, is actually a huge opportunity. And that the apparent tragedy has transformed into a miracle.'It comes as a shock when a young mother is informed her son has been born with a rare genetic disorder. According to the doctors, Theodor will never learn to walk or talk. But his mother refuses to accept this cruel diagnosis. Together the pair achieve the seemingly impossible. At the age of five, Theodor stands on his own two feet for the very first time.In an engaging mix of raw emotion and clear objectivity, Astrid Eldflug relates the moving experiences of everyday life with her special needs son. STEPS is a book about unconditional love, empowerment and potential. It is a deeply affecting memoir written with unsparing honesty; a book destined to leave its mark on everyone who reads it.
