Rita commenced her expedition from Manaus, a bustling city surrounded by lush rainforests and winding rivers. With her heart filled with excitement, she paddled her way through the emerald-green waters of the Rio Negro, surrounded by towering trees and a symphony of exotic birdcalls. The serenity of the rainforest captivated her soul, pushing her to embark deeper into its embrace.

Chapter 2: The Beauty Within

As Rita ventured further into the rainforest, she encountered an oasis hidden within its core - a tranquil lake shimmering under the dappled sunlight that gently penetrated the dense canopy. Mesmerized by its ethereal beauty, she docked her kayak and decided to explore this hidden jewel on foot.

Walking along the vibrant trails, Rita discovered a mesmerizing variety of flora and fauna. Orchids of every hue adorned the trees, while colorful butterflies danced effortlessly through the air.

Navigating the treacherous rapids of the Amazon River tested her strength and perseverance. With every twist and turn, she fought against the swirling currents, her determination guiding her forward.

At times, Rita faced encounters with insects and reptiles, adding an element of excitement to her expedition. From curious monkeys swinging from tree branches to stealthy jaguars prowling in the shadows, the rainforest was a constant reminder of the delicate balance between humans and the wild.

During her journey, Rita experienced unexpected moments of vulnerability that humbled her and reshaped her perspective. Witnessing local tribespeople living harmoniously with nature taught her the importance of sustainability and preserving our planet for future generations. It made her realize that, despite her physical strength, true strength lies in our ability to respect and protect our environment.

As she continued her adventure, Rita embraced the simplicity of life amid the wildness. She learned to cherish the rainwater that nourished her, the sunlight that warmed her, and the cool breeze that refreshed her. She felt at one with nature, understanding that we are all interconnected.

One September day in 1955, Rita’s life changed forever when polio struck her family. She was five years old. Rita became totally paralysed; her brother was partially affected, and she lost her mother to the virus.

The hospital became her home, and the ward sister her mother. Hospital life was harsh in the 1950s: crying was a punishable offence and meant solitary confinement. Rita struggled to walk again using leg callipers and a spinal brace, and later became mobile with the use of a wheelchair.

Finally, she had to learn to live with her own family again, and with a new mother that she didn’t know. She tried to fit in, often feeling trapped at home while the family led busy lives.

After a time at boarding school, Rita changed; she became positive, and strove to become fully independent. She went on to travel abroad extensively with her wheelchair.

This book is about Rita’s early life and how she achieved her dreams.
