Chasing Kites : My Quest for Freedom – Farah Libardee

Description

‘The around-the-clock turning of my body to prevent bedsores, the cleaning of the spaghetti-like network of tubes, the ugly wound dressings, and the endless drip, drip, drip of medicine into my veins had exhausted me.’

Centred on the life of Sharan, a young man navigating the challenges of Becker Muscular Dystrophy, Chasing Kites is a deeply moving and multi-perspective biography that captures the essence of an extraordinary journey. Diagnosed at the age of nine, Sharan’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and the pursuit of freedom as he learns to rise above physical limitations and embrace life with courage and creativity.

Narrated through the voices of Sharan and other key individuals in his life’s journey, Chasing Kites by Farah Libardee explores the impact of disability on family dynamics, identity, and the human spirit.
