A Childhood Experience of Blindness, Deafness, and Survival
What does it feel like to lose your sight and hearing, with no explanation, no pain, and no one who can help?
Neurological + Functional Paralysis: A Childhood Experience of Blindness, Deafness, and Survival is the memoir of a child trapped in silence and darkness, struggling to survive when the world had disappeared. Alone in their own mind, they prayed, promised, and willed their senses to return, believing for a time that it was their fault.
This is a story of endurance, courage, and the quiet, hidden strength of a body and mind determined to survive. Not a tale of miracles or medical certainty, it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit - and a vivid, unforgettable journey through fear, hope, and recovery.
