determination on the part of a person to achieve something that ordinarily appears to be beyond reach alone results in such acts of valour and virility.

Very often the physical disability in a person not only makes him bodily incapacitated but also mentally dependent. The book throws light on the bravery and courage of such persons who could overcome not only their physical incapacity but also the psychological trauma associated with it.
