Facing Challenges

"It was 1952. Polio was sweeping across the country, and young Vera fell victim to the disease. Would it destroy her future? Would her life become devoid of purpose? And what could she possibly contribute to society with severely damaged lungs, a twisted torso, and arms hanging uselessly at her sides?

Yet, Vera refuses to succumb to a 'victim mentality.' Supported by a loving, devout family, she fights with unyielding determination to overcome the limitations of her polio-stricken body and to live as normal a life as possible.

In this book, Rachel Lofgren captures the spirit and life of Vera.

As you journey alongside Vera, may you find yourself as inspired as those who walked with her throughout her life!"
