WHEN YOU CURE ME

'He didn't think I was worth it – all this effort and stuff you're doing. Because it isn't your fault I'm like this.'

A searing portrait of relationships read between the lines, When You Cure Me tells the story of Rachel, victim to an incident that's left her inexplicably paralysed. There's nothing her super-carer mum or over-eager new friends can do, and Rachel can't explain why it's happening. But if Peter can find a way back to her, he could just be her cure.
