About the Book

Suddenly becoming disabled is something that could happen to anyone. This is the real-life story of a working father who finds his life completely upended when he breaks his neck in a diving accident. The accident leaves him a quadriplegic, incapable of moving any part of his body except his head and shoulders. The story reveals his emotions as he comes to terms with what's happened to him and describes the challenges he has to meet and how he copes with them over the ensuing 25 years.
After his accident, lying in his hospital bed, he's unable to so much as turn over because of his paralysis. Every day, he must stare at the ceiling of his hospital room, unable to see out of the window, unable to know whether it's night or day. Determined to recover from his injury and get back to work, he makes heroic efforts as he undergoes rehabilitation. However, although he's able to achieve mobility with a wheelchair, he still finds himself severely disabled, unable to move even the tips of his fingers.
As a corporate warrior during Japan's economic bubble, he suddenly goes from being completely in control of his life to finding even the simplest of everyday tasks impossible without the help and kindness of others. However, back home, having been separated from his family and his beloved cats for so long, he finds a second lease on life. With the assistance of home health aides, who provide dawn-to-dusk support, and reunited with his cats, who provide much-needed companionship, he's able to lead a fulfilling and productive life again.
This realistic account, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes bittersweet, shows how one man turns his life around, overcoming the tragedy of his accident to achieve the peaceful life he now enjoys with his cats. Through his cats, he cultivates a gentle heart and overcomes the despair of having lost so much to his disability. Gradually, he finds the strength to live again, discovering ample reasons to treasure life in spite of his condition.
Life is often difficult, and sometimes it can be hard to keep going, leaving you feeling it's all too much. But this story about one man's battle with apparently insurmountable odds will show you that there's no problem the human spirit cannot conquer. If you're the kind of person who can find joy in the simplest of things-like the mischievous antics of a playful cat-this book will show you how hope and opportunities to succeed are everywhere around you, no matter how impossible things seem.
The book takes you into the joyful world of a wheelchair-bound man and the cats that bring him happiness. Now at peace with his disability, he's able to see beyond the confines of his wheelchair, gaining a deeper understanding of why we're here and what's truly important in life. If you've ever wondered about these things, this book is for you. It will help you understand what truly matters and show you that, regardless of your circumstances, you can find happiness and fulfilment in simply being alive.
