"A Thalidomide survivor's story"--Cover.
|
| Abstract
|
:
|
During the compensation battle for Thalidomide victims in the 1970s, former Labour MP Jack Ashley asked in a parliamentary debate how Louise, then 11 years old, could look forward to 'laughing and loving with no hand to hold and no legs to dance on'. This is her story, a triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
