Editor's Note:
Perjuangan seorang perempuan korban thalidomide.. Louise Mason dilahirkan tanpa tangan dan kaki, seorang korban obat thalidomide. Setelah dilahirkan, ia meninggalkan rumah sakit dan masuk ke institusi Chailey Heritage di East Sussex, Inggris, tempat ia melewatkan masa kecil. Saat ayahnya, David Mason, berjuang bagi suatu kampanye besar untuk memeroleh kompensasi yang layak, Louise dipotret bersama keluarganya dan bertemu dengan para selebriti di televisi. Hanya sedikit orang yang menyadari bahwa Louise tidak tinggal di rumahnya sendiri. Saat perjuangan mendapatkan ganti rugi sedang membara di parlemen pada tahun 1970-an, Menteri Tenaga Kerja Jack Ashley bertanya bagaimana Louise yang berusia 11 tahun bisa berharap untuk “tertawa dan mencintai tanpa tangan untuk menggenggam dan tanpa kaki untuk untuk menari”. Louise membuktikan bahwa anggapan mereka keliru. Dia menemukan cinta pada suami pertamanya, John, dan melahirkan dua anak, sebelum mendapat pengalaman menyakitkan mengenai pengkhianatan. Ini adalah kisah Louise yang unik tentang bagaimana ia menanggung situasi kelahirannya dan menjalani hidup keluarga yang normal serta mencintai sama dalamnya, dan tertawa seperti manusia lainnya.
