by Martin Pistorius, Unknown Author

Martin Pistorius's inspiring journey back from the brink of life will motivate you to cherish life and advocate for others. When you lose your voice, who will speak up for you? When hope seems lost, how do you endure each day? In the New York Times bestseller 'Ghost Boy', Martin Pistorius recounts his astonishing story of revival through the healing power of love and faith. In January 1988, a healthy, happy twelve-year-old Martin Pistorius fell ill with a sore throat. Soon, he was sleeping excessively, refusing meals, and losing his voice. Doctors were baffled. Within eighteen months, his voice was silenced, and his mind was trapped within a body he couldn't control. Martin's parents were told he had an unknown degenerative disease and had less than two years to live. He felt invisible, like a 'ghost' of himself. The family was devastated, pushing his parents to the brink of separation. Unbeknownst to them, Martin began to awaken. He couldn't communicate, but he was aware of his surroundings and slowly finding his way back to himself. In these pages, you'll experience the peaks and troughs of Martin's journey from his own perspective, a family's resilience amidst adversity, the repercussions of misdiagnosis, and the blessing of a vivid imagination. Martin's emergence from his own darkness encourages us to appreciate our own lives and fight for a better life for those around us.
