- Summary:
-
Tim had just turned seventeen; he was a happy, confident young man with high hopes for a very bright future. On August 2, 2007, however, all this suddenly changed. He was on the first ride of his new motorbike, when in failing to negotiate a bend he hit a fence and was catapulted to land head-first seven metres away on the ground. He was left with a brain injury so severe there seemed little chance of survival, let alone any quality of life. This is the story of his journey towards recovery - one that can only be described as miraculous. It is also the revelation of his mother s deeply personal journey, as she learns to cope with the single most heart-wrenching and complex experience of her life. It bears testimony to the indomitable nature of the human spirit and the working of a gracious healing God showing how even amidst the most devastating circumstances in life, joy can still be found.
