Encouraged by some hope of success in her case held out by a renowned paediatrician, if only they were ready for extremely hard and tireless efforts against dauntingly heavy odds over a very long period, the foursome family has achieved a near miracle. the story of their struggle, great courage and the grit, tenacity and endurance of the girl herself stretching over three decades forms the theme of this remarkable book.
