"THE CLOSING DOOR"

The Closing Door shares a powerful story about a little girl who was diagnosed with polio and how her year of treatment at age five molded her outlook on life. This stirring personal account offers a dramatic look inside her heart and reveals how family, friends, and other caregivers were her true "crutches" during her healing process. As Dee Van Balen tells us, life is a living book of stories. She encourages us to see how we are shaped by our experiences and the people who travel life's road with us. Readers are sure to be energized by her call to banish negativity and embrace a positive outlook during times of both trial and triumph. At its core, The Closing Door is an uplifting showcase of the transformative powers of love and faith. "Her vivid recall is so exact that you too will feel the experience." Raymond B. White, CEO of The Watson Institute (successor of the D.T. Watson Home for Crippled Children)
