Description
In January 1988, aged twelve, Martin Pistorius fell inexplicably sick. He lost his voice, stopped eating and slept constantly. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. Martin’s parents were told that he had an unknown degenerative disease and probably had less than two years to live. Then, in 1998, when Martin was twenty-three years old, an aromatherapy masseuse began treating him and sensed some part of him was alert. Since then, and against all odds, he has fallen in love, married and set up a design business which he runs from his home in Essex. Ghost Boy is an incredible, deeply moving story of recovery and the power of love.
