Stand Up and Walk: The Chris Taylor story
An inspiring true life drama of a young South African lawyer whose life changed dramatically after receiving chocolates laced with arsenic, by mail.
“At one time I confused one of the specialists with the Oudtshoorn dentist. I watched in paralysed horror as he closed the curtain to examine me. He was going to succeed after all! He was going to kill me and there was nobody around to help – only Stuhlinger and me! I heard the calm voice of the nurse on the other side of the curtain; “Doctor, do you need anything?” I wanted to scream – to shout out; Damn all of you! Don’t you realise that this is Stuhlinger? Icouldn’t move. I watched in terror as the curtain opened and she brought the syringe and a small brown bottle with liquid in it”.
Stand Up and Walk is a fascinating and intriguing account of the events that led to Chris’s poisoning and his life to date.There are many life lessons that we can discover in reading this book, but for me the overriding one is Belief! To believe in the unlimited potential that lies within each one of us to make possible the impossible;to do extraordinary things within ordinary circumstances;to believe in ourselves beyond what we are told we are capable of.
