| Description |
My Life in My Hands is the story of a remarkable woman and a remarkable life. Alison Lapper was born in 1965 with no arms and with shortened legs. After Alison’s birth, her family were encouraged to give her away and so she was handed over to social services. For nineteen years, Alison lived in institutions for the disabled where the regime was harsh. Struggling through a childhood deprived of affection and characterised by both physical and emotional abuse, she resolved to strike out on her own. Graced with intelligence and determination, Alison has faced many challenges along the way in order to live a fulfilling and independent life. She has gone on to be an artist, mother and inspiration to many.
