by Brian Gault (Author), Helena Rogers (Author)
Brian Gault is one of the 450 survivors of the 'miracle-drug' Thalidomide's exposure to the British market in the mid-twentieth century. To the shock of his parents, he was born with no arms. Otherwise physically and mentally fit and able, Brian has struggled throughout his life to overcome the restrictions society has tried to place on him, beginning with the cumbersome prosthetic arms of his childhood, which he had to sabotage to escape wearing them! Brian's story is lively, funny, challenging and moving and centres around his call to Christian faith. With a foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada.
