They Said I Would Never Work by Daphne M Brown

They Said I Would Never Work by Daphne M Brown

This book is a heartfelt account of someone who, having survived the war as a child, contracted polio, which affected her spine. The hospital consultant said she would never be able to work, as she wore a spinal support and was unable to stand or sit for any length of time. Ignoring this, Daphne spent years in multicultural education, including 25 years as a headteacher. She also graduated as a professional counsellor and worked for the NHS in primary care and a hostel for homeless young people. She developed a charity that raised money for boreholes providing fresh drinking water in Zimbabwe and Uganda and travelled widely. Daphne writes with sensitivity; she is not afraid to express her feelings and her faith. The main purpose of this book is to encourage all those who are coping with a disability to reach out and explore, to discover what they can do rather than hide behind what is difficult, and to never lose hope or give up.
