Ghost Boy chronicles the life of Martin Pistorius, who lived with “locked-in syndrome” for over 12 years, a condition which left him unable to communicate or move. While those around him believed him to also be unconscious, Martin remained fully aware of the enduring indignities and horrific abuse he was subjected to during this time. These wounding life experiences and the impacts they had on Martin are vividly recounted in this book, as is the restorative nature of valued roles and abiding relationships.
