About this work
Description
"Can you imagine not being able to speak or communicate? The silence, the loneliness, the pain. Inside you disappear to magical places, but most of the time you remain imprisoned within the isolation. Waiting, longing, hoping. Until someone realises your potential and discovers your key, so your unlocking can begin. Now you are free, flying like a wild bird in the open sky. A voice for the voiceless. Jonathan Bryan has locked-in syndrome, a disease that makes him incapable of speech or moving in any way apart from moving his eyes and blinking. He was locked inside his own mind, aware of the outside world but unable to communicate with it, until he found a way of communicating by using his eyes to laboriously choose individual letters, and through this make his thoughts known. In this, we read of his intense passion for life, his mischievous sense of fun, his hopes, his fears and what it's like to be him. This is a powerful book from an incredible writer and inspirational figure."--Provided by publisher.
