Publishers Description: Like all mothers, Henrietta had imagined a bright and normal future for her children - but this particular joy was not to be. Her first son, Henry, was born quadriplegic and it was assumed that he was severely brain-damaged. Four years later, after reassurances that a healthy second child was possible, Freddie arrived with critical internal malformation. On top of this it later emerged that he was also autistic and hyperactive, unable to walk or talk. For Henrietta, the last 15 years have been an exhausting, tumultuous time of highs and lows, triumphant achievements and bitter blows, through which she has been sustained by an extraordinarily resilient fighting spirit, and the unwavering vision that one day her eldest son at least will achieve full health. This truly inspirational story follows her amazing quest for a better life for her sons, as she has learned to believe in the impossible, strive against the odds and dig deep into resources she never knew she had. Facing some of life's toughest challenges - and with a cure for Henry in sight - Henrietta's Dream is an extraordinary testament to the power of a mother's love.
