the Victor Within

By: Victor Vermeulen (with Jonathan Ancer). An inspirational memoir about South African cricketer Victor Vermeulen, whose promising career ended at age 19 when an accident left him paralysed from the neck down. Rather than dwelling on his lost potential, and with his mother's support, he went on to become a motivational speaker. The book, which includes forewords by Nelson Mandela and Christopher Reeve, tells his story of resilience, optimism and determination.
