On episode #87 of Origin Andre Govier discuss his newest work a true story is about living the life you got. Loving what you have and overcoming obstacles.

His novella centers on the care of a little girl with Rett Syndrome.

Rett Syndrome has been described as, the lights are on, somebody is at home, but they can’t get out.

The heart of this tale about overcoming life’s hurdles because life is about overcoming what needs to done.  

This is not a book about disability, it is about ability. The ability to allow love to maximize the quality of life of someone who can’t do it for themselves. It's about selflessness being above individual desire. It's about coping with loss. Of living the life you get.

In purchasing this book, you are helping all little girls with Rett Syndrome as the profits will be funding the work underway to find a cure at www.reverserett.org.uk

Andre Govier has lived a life of service. His desire to write this book came from a deep respect he has felt while interacting with the families of little girls afflicted with Rett.

All profits will go to researching a cure.

For more information on the subject of his book, Olivia Georgia Meredith head to http://www.livvyssmile.co.uk/
