THE STORY OF A TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY’S DESPERATE BUT SUCCESSFUL BATTLE TO SURVIVE POLIO, AND HIS FAMILY’S ROLE IN GUIDING HIM BACK TO A NORMAL LIFE."This book tells of a ten-year-old boy who was suddenly deposited in an iron lung to battle for his very life. What he went through will illustrate the new ways that have been developed to fight polio. In recent years much has been learned about treating this disease, but there is still much more to know."I think that this story will illustrate one important age-old truth, namely, that faith and confidence are essential factors in healing. Anyone who has watched polio patients find their way back to a normal life will understand why most of them have such a gallant spirit and will meet difficulties without fear or trepidation. I think it is probably because a polio attack is such a terrific blow that once the patient has decided to fight back, all fear seems to be left behind."-Eleanor Roosevelt
