On a cold winter day, in a little town in the mountains, a baby
girl is born dead. Revived, brought back to life, her mother
rescued from almost the same fate, the little baby not only
survives but begins to thrive, in her own way, and at her own pace.
Afflicted with cerebral palsy, slowly she learns the basics of how
to live, to walk, to talk, to find ways to adapt to a world made
for normal people, ordinary people. Taught from an early age to
believe in the magic of Disney, that if one truly believes, if one
can dream it, one can do it, the little girl grows into a woman.
But will she overcome all obstacles and achieve her dream of
reaching for the stars? Will she graduate at the top of her class
in a major university and be offered her dream position with NASA
working on a project that will help to unravel the mysteries of the
universe? Written in the third person, this touching memoir, based
on a true story, unfolds primarily through the eyes of the father
who, in the end, has to admit that he did not so much raise his
daughter... as she raised him.
