Brown\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 10, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156855685183,"sku":"9781035895342","price":34.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/kSHOseO6gJ9781035895342.webp?v=1776975815","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/they-said-i-would-never-work-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
