Description
The author, Glynda Winterson, says of her heart-felt and uplifting memoir:
"'He Dances with Wheels' is the book I wished I could have read during the challenging and bewildering years of caring for my husband at home. I had wonderful friends but I longed to speak with someone 'in the same boat' as myself: another carer who was struggling with similar issues and could understand.
My husband had M.S. (multiple sclerosis) and we travelled through this illness together for 28 years. David was a caring, selfless and courageous man of faith and writing the book was first intended as a tribute to him. I wanted to celebrate his life.
But this book has emerged as a celebration of a shared life: an acknowledgment that the friendship giving us both the inner strength, the unique understanding that we needed through the years of increasing disability, was in fact the friendship of Christ.
This is the Christ who calls His Holy Spirit 'the Comforter', given to be with us to help us. Through sharing life with Him we can then be His comfort to one another."
Written in a lively, engaging style, the book is full of love, humour, music, and faith. The landscape of the Northern Isles of Scotland features almost like a character, reflecting life lived creatively and courageously.
Glynda tells us: “This is not a tale of gloom and doom… By sharing some of these amazing events, my hope is to encourage and to bring comfort to anyone identifying with our circumstances.”
