Description: "Watercare engineer Ian Winson was seriously injured in a gas explosion in Onehunga, Auckland, in 2011, an incident that killed a colleague. It cost Ian both his legs, caused severe damage to his arms, gave him a brain injury and left him close to death. On that morning he went from being an Ironman competitor to a double amputee requiring much medical intervention and months of rehabilitation just to reach a stage of basic mobility. His story is one of bravery, incredible determination, redefining oneself, a family's love, and unerring hope"--Back cover.
