Description

This deeply moving true story charts the life of Rosaleen Moriarty-Simmonds, born with four fingers and thirteen toes due to her mother's prescription of Thalidomide during pregnancy. Despite the challenges she faced, Rosie overcame incredible obstacles to lead a fulfilling life.

Illustrated throughout, this remarkable biography also delves into the historical journey of Thalidomide from Nazi Germany to its current use in treating various conditions and illnesses. Rosie shares her honest perspective on the drug and examines why pharmaceutical companies are eager for it to be re-licensed.

A testament to triumph over devastating disability, Rosie's story is a powerful exploration of resilience, determination, and the human spirit.
