註釋Imagine waking up at age seven to find your world completely changed. That's what happened to Delilah. She found herself imprisoned in an iron lung after contracting polio. But she refused to let that stop her. After being told she couldn't go home until she could breathe on her own, she determined that she would learn how to breathe alone again. Her determination set the course for her life. Throughout the years, Delilah struggled with the aftereffects of polio as well as severe scoliosis. These limited her physically, but the greater challenge was dealing with them emotionally. She became very independent and made sure to find success in the working world, but success in the social world was harder to find due to low self-esteem. As she grew older and formed friendships, she found that she could love herself, and so could others. Join Delilah as she shares the moving story of a life well lived overcoming the odds in Iron Heart. Her tale will touch and inspire your heart.
