'This important book tells the real life story of triumph over adversity, written in Nicole's own words, about her life before and after her encounter with meningoccocal disease. It also highlights the special bond between mother and daughter by giving a voice to Nicole's mother, who steps in and continues the story when illness threatens to silence Nicole's efforts. This book will also throw light on the important place of animals, namely Nicole's eight horses, four dogs, one cat and one bird in her recovery. This is a deeply personal journey through the dark and devastating effects of meningoccocal disease and into the light, navigated by Nicole's strength of character.' (Publisher's description)
