When Yasmin, a mother of two daughters, was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis at a young age of twenty-nine, it was her indomitable spirit to not to succumb to her condition and her faith that made her jump back to the life she desired, to become a children's author. The book mentions several instances of human compassion as she moves from one treatment to another. Through her ability for humour in pain, her faith and her love for her family she could sail through tough waters. Despite the changes in her lifestyle, she strives hard to provide a normal life to her daughters. The life of a person living with a neurological disorder is usually a constant tug of war between the hope of a normal future and the uncertainty of bad days when the body doesn't respond to the mind's will. Through her journals, Yasmin presents us a first-hand account of her experiences during the early period of Transverse Myelitis.
