Can you imagine not being able to speak or communicate? The
silence, the loneliness, the pain. But, inside you disappear to
magical places, and even meet your best friend there. However, most
of the time you remain imprisoned within the isolation. Waiting,
longing, hoping. Until someone realises your potential and
discovers your key, so your unlocking can begin. Now you are free,
flying like a wild bird in the open sky. A voice for the voiceless.
Jonathan Bryan has severe cerebral palsy, a condition that makes
him incapable of voluntary movement or speech. He was locked inside
his own mind, aware of the outside world but unable to fully
communicate with it until he found a way by using his eyes to
laboriously choose individual letters, and through this make his
thoughts known. In Eye can Write, we read of his intense passion
for life, his mischievous sense of fun, his hopes, his fears and
what it's like to be him. This is a powerful book from an
incredible young writer whose writing ability defies age or
physical disability - a truly inspirational figure. Foreword by Sir
Michael Morpurgo A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this
book will be donated to Jonathan Bryan's charity, Teach Us Too.

An incredible true story, for fans of Katie Piper and inspirational
books. A girl with her whole life ahead of her. A terrible
accident. An inspiring story of triumph over trauma. Aged 15,
Jordan was a happy-go-lucky girl; having fun with friends and
loving life. In one fateful moment, everything changed. A car
accident left her paralysed from the chest down and shocked her
into deep depression. She was on the brink of giving up. But
gradually Jordan realised there is hope beyond utter devastation,
and life beyond disability. Painstakingly re-learning how to apply
her beloved make-up, Jordan began to rebuild her sense of self and
empowerment. Her body may have been broken but her spirit was not.
She is now a successful beauty blogger and her journey of
positivity inspires millions around the world. MY BEAUTIFUL
STRUGGLE is the incredible true story of how one young woman
overcame immense challenges, of inner strength that lies beneath
outer beauty, of how to believe in yourself and find the light when
it feels like all hope is gone.
