Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Wheels of VictoryA Memoir by Maika VazBorn in Portugal to Guinean parents and raised between two worlds, Maika Vaz's childhood was filled with the colours, scents and community of Guinea Bissau until the age of ten, when a mysterious illness turned her life upside down.What began as fever and pain became years of hospital corridors, unanswered questions, and the gradual loss of the freedom she had taken for granted.By fourteen she was a wheelchair user. What followed was a long, often lonely fight to reclaim her place in the world: resistance, acceptance, friendship, independence, love, and a determination that refused to be defined by limitation.From the red earth of Guinea Bissau to the association that became her second family in Portugal, and later to the streets of London, Maika rebuilt her life one hardnwon step and one hardnwon wheel at a time. She learned English, found work, lived alone, fell in love, and eventually faced the greatest medical challenge of all: becoming a mother against every probability.The Wheels of Victory is not simply a story of surviving disability. It is the story of a Black woman who refused to let race, illness or a wheelchair write the limits of her life. With honesty, humour and unflinching courage, Maika shows that strength is not the absence of struggle it is the decision to keep moving forward even when the path is hardest.This is a memoir about roots and reinvention, about the women who raised her, the love that found her, and the daughter who became her greatest miracle. It is living proof that the body may set boundaries, but the spirit chooses how far to go.For anyone who has ever been told something is impossible, Maika's story offers a powerful reminder: the greatest victories are often won on wheels.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Wheels of Victory: A MemoirBy Maika VazWhat happens when life takes away the future you once imagined, and you must find the courage to build a new one In The Wheels of Victory, Maika Vaz shares a deeply personal and moving account of resilience, identity, love, loss, and the determination to live life on her own terms.Beginning with her roots in Guinea Bissau, Maika takes readers through the warmth of her childhood, the strength of family, and the devastating challenges that would change her life forever. Faced with serious illness at a young age, repeated hospital stays, and a future she could never have anticipated, she embarks on a journey that tests not only her physical strength but also her faith, independence, and understanding of herself.Living with a disability in a world that too often sees limitations before possibilities, Maika refuses to let other people's expectations define her. Through painful setbacks, difficult choices, and moments of uncertainty, she discovers that victory is not always about overcoming every obstacle. Sometimes, it is about learning to live alongside challenges while continuing to pursue the things that make life meaningful.Along the way, Maika reflects on the people who shaped her journey, the importance of belonging, the power of unconditional love, and the courage required to make choices that others may struggle to understand. Her story also celebrates the extraordinary experience of motherhood and the life-changing love she shares with her daughter, Jasmine.Honest, heartfelt, and profoundly human, The Wheels of Victory is more than a story of survival. It is a powerful reminder that disability does not define a person's worth, that difficult circumstances do not erase the possibility of happiness, and that a meaningful life can take many different forms.For anyone who has ever faced uncertainty, felt underestimated, or wondered whether a different future is still possible, Maika's story offers hope, perspective, and the courage to keep moving forward.Because victory is not always about changing your circumstances. Sometimes, it begins with changing the way you see yourself.…
