Golden Heart

Résumé du livre

Set in Nassau, Bahamas, these short stories are simple tales of good-hearted people, who struggle to live in a world where bad things happen. The author, Michael Wells, was born with cerebral palsy which means he has difficulty controlling his limbs and using his voice. But he can operate a computer by means of a laser dot stuck on his forehead which picks out letters on an online keyboard. These books help him make a living under incredibly difficult circumstances. Each story features a protagonist in a wheelchair, along with a life message. Michael's writing is poignant in some parts, humorous in others and romantic in most. He lets us see parts of the everyday life of a person with a disability that able-bodied people might not know about.
