About this product

Product Information

In January 1988, aged twelve, Martin Pistorius fell inexplicably sick. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound, being cared for at centres for severely disabled children. What -one knew is that while Martin's body remained unresponsive, his mind slowly woke up, yet he could tell -one, a prisoner inside his own body. During this time, he suffered abuse of a kind that is barely imaginable, yet still he kept the spirit of hope alive. It wasn't until he was twenty-three that a gentle therapist realised he was alert to everything and, along with his parents, assisted his road to recovery. Since then, against all odds, he has fallen in love, married, and w runs a thriving web design business. Martin's extraordinary story is a deeply moving account of the power of love.

Author Biography
Martin Pistorius was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1975. An unknown illness at the age of twelve left him wheelchair bound and unable to speak, and he spent fourteen years in institutions. In 2001 he learned to communicate via computer, make friends and change his life. In 2008 he met the love of his life, Joanna, and immigrated to the UK. In 2009 they married and in 2010 he started his own business. He describes himself a Geek with a wicked sense of humour and a love of technology. He loves animals, is a keen photographer, enjoys watching cricket, Formula 1 Grand Prix and films, listening to music, spending time with friends and, most of all, being with his wife.

Fantastic
Amazingly intelligent, funny at times and heart breaking at others. An excellent read for the soul and mind. The book documents the story of Martin, the ghost boy, and his journey though life in the presence of a devastating illness. From regaining a connection with the outside world to completing a university degree and getting jobs, to finding the thing that he craved most, love.
