Autobiographical account of a young woman who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Confined to a wheelchair with a new baby to care for, it was a nightmare for an independent and fun-loving person. However, after the early dark days Healey began to rebuild her life, learning to drive and becoming involved in the public speaking circuit to promote the MS cause. She also learned to sail, going on to compete at the highest levels of Australian sailing. Includes a list of MS society contacts.
