One Step at a Time: A Young Woman's Inspiring Struggle to Walk Again

by Lenor Madruga

Lenor Madruga had stunning beauty, vibrant health, a handsome, loving husband, two wonderful young children, and a successful modeling career when, on the morning of her 32nd birthday, she discovered the small hard lump on her thigh. Within a few nightmare months, she had barely saved her life-and lost her left leg. Now this extraordinary woman tells the story of her struggle to return from the abyss of pain, drug addiction, self-torment, and depression that threatened to swallow up her entire life. It is a triumphant story of her determination to dance, drive, swim, water-ski, ride horses, make love-and so almost everything she used to do before her operation.

Agarre este libro en una estantería agarrada con alambres en una parada de colectivo yendo a ver a mi novio. Me conmovió la historia de Lenor al punto que llegue a sentir su lucha y su dolor. No se que es de su vida en la actualidad pero ojalá este muy bien o haya disfrutado una buena vida.
