Must read book

Heart warming book about bravery and encouragement. Teaches you how to pick up your life when you hit the lowest point. If Henry did it then there is no excuse why you can't. Accept and adapt.

Such courage.

Henry it was so frightening to hear what happened to you in Portugal the fact that it can happen to anybody in the blink of an eye .
Talking as a mother myself ,I would like to think if that happened to one of my loved ones, I could be as strong as your mum.
You have come so far in five years. The start of your story there was lots of tears and it broke my heart.
Then you turned it all around to a happy ending.
I really love the fact that you can enjoy a night out with your brothers & your mates .
Those around you want to be with you,that tells me that you are great company . a fellow with a smile on his face ,& will join in with the rugby banter .

It meant a lot to me knowing that you read your book to us yourself .
Thank you !! Xx

An inspirational must-read

A very inspirational book in which Henry Fraser demonstrates the true meaning of gratitude and overcoming adversity in the most positive way. His approach to ‘accept and adapt’ has enabled him to move past such a devastating accident and is truly striking. This book will stay with me for a long time; it is awe-inspiring, uplifting and has given me a refreshed outlook of appreciating those ‘little big things’ we take for granted that little bit more. A must-read!
