Description: "Lotus Blossom lives with her family in Chennai, India. When she suddenly loses the use of her legs, her world becomes much smaller. Lotus cannot go to school [or] go outside to play [as] her legs will not carry her. The doctor at the clinic says it's a hopeless case. But when Dr. Don and Dr. Mike pay Lotus a visit, they bring her a gift that changes everything and lifts her to new heights. One that sparks her determination and sends her spirit soaring -- allowing Lotus to unveil an astounding gift of her own. This uplifting story, based on true experiences, is told with grace and beauty and will captivate audiences of all ages." --P. [4] of cover.
