Description
Sophie Delezio has been through more than most of us could imagine. Trapped under a burning car in her childcare centre, resulting in burns to eighty per cent of her body and multiple amputations; a long path to recovery followed by a near-fatal accident on a pedestrian crossing soon after her fifth birthday. With her beautiful smile and unquenchable spirit, Sophie has become a beacon of hope and inspiration in Australia and beyond. Now Sophie's parents, Ron and Carolyn, invite us into their world. Through their private journals they reveal a portrait of their life, from the day of Sophie's first horrific accident to the present and their never-ending challenge to balance Sophie's care with their life together as a family. The Delezio family have not only survived, they have somehow managed to offer hope and joy to others in the process.
