Another of my dreams is that this book will help my son to ignore society's pressures and start to feel comfortable with his mother. Read on and tell me if I am expecting too much. Dr Albert A.C.

Legs of iron is a biographical depiction of one woman's fight for a fulfilling and independent life in the face of enormous obstacles. Her dream is for the reader to get a glimpse of one disabled person's mind, hopes, ambition, feelings and ability to love; then decidedly come to understand that the mind, not the external features, is a truer measure of the person.
