This is an autobiography about Hamish Ramsden’s life as a tetraplegic. It starts from the moment of his accident on the family farm in Southern Hawkes Bay in 1994.

The story details his rehabilitation at the Burwood Spinal Unit and his resettling into his home environment.

Nine years after his accident, his life takes a dramatic turn, which brings new highs and new lows.

It is a very personal look into Hamish’s life without trying to be overly motivational, but with a subtle mix of humour which contrasts well with the traumatic theme of the book.

And what’s this about the dog? You’ll just have to read the book to find out
