When Jane Wilson-Howarth's son, David, was diagnosed with serious medical problems, the family faced the tough decision of whether to stay in England, or return to their home at the time, in remote Nepal. This is a moving story of this mother's determination to give her child the best possible chance of enjoying life.
When Jane Wilson-Howarth'sson, David, was diagnosed with serious neurological disorders, the family faced a major decision. They could stay in England, where David had access to the best services that Western medical care could offer, or they could return to their home at the time in remote RajapurIsland, Nepal, where he would have the chance of living his life to the fullest. There, he would be free from invasive medical testing, and treated as a person rather than an 'interesting case'. This poignant memoir tells of the family's time in Rajapurand Kathmandu, conjuring in vivid detail the events of David's short but lovingly appreciated life. The sounds, sights and smells of the exotic bazaars, the warmth and complexity of the people and the stunning natural beauty of Nepal form an evocative backdrop to the story of this family's courage, love and loss.l
