Over the last 25 years, Prince George physiotherapist Hilary Crowley has volunteered her time in India where she has helped develop a community-based disability program.
She has now published a book about those experiences.
Footsteps to Freedom: Tales of Therapy in Rural India, takes the reader into rural India during the height of the polio epidemic.
Crowley describes how children progress from crawling in their village to rehabilitation and education to adults leading productive lives. It's an opportunity to see life through the eyes of these children and follow their footsteps.
A book launch will be held on Wed., May 29 at Art Space above Books and Company, 7 p.m. start. Crowley will show slides from her work in India and give some short readings.
Proceeds from the book will go to the Samuha Overseas Development Association.
