Synopsis
Ian Colquhoun is an extraordinary young man surviving a mind-numbing attack that resulted in the loss of his legs. Yet, somehow his burned and broken body fought on. The agonies and extraordinary experiences, courage and his determination to survive make this book gripping and inspirational reading. Given the last rites three times, Ian has come through kidney failure, a seven-week coma, heart problems, 65 percent burns and has endured more than twenty operations. Thanks to the Internet there were thousands of people praying for his life all over the world. The burns were to his chest/abdomen, arms, hands, chin and worst of all, his legs. They were burned right through to the bone. They were going to have to come off if he was to live. His parents were told that still might not be enough to save his life though, Yet, somehow, his burned, broken body and soul fought on.
