1754. Inseparable since birth & growing up in India, Theo & Connie Courtney are torn apart by the tragic death of their parents.
...
In January 1988, Martin Pistorius, aged 12, inexplicably fell sick. Doctors were mystified & within 18 months he was mute & wheelchair bound. His parents were told he had an unknown degenerative disorder that left him with the mind of a baby but what nobody knew was that while Martin's body remained unresponsive, his mind slowly woke up but no one could tell. 10 years later, an aromatherapist sensed some part of him was alert. Experts were dismissive but his parent persevered & soon realised their son was as intelligent as he'd always been. With no memory of the time before his illness & still mute & wheelchair bound he was brilliantly adept at computer technology. Since then, he has fallen in love, married & set up a web design business in Essex. This is a deeply moving account of recovery & the power of love.
