A paraplegic who finds mobility with a motorcycle. A woman who manages to find happiness despite having a lame leg. A man with a hunched back, but a heart which is straight and true.

Many of the characters in Datin Patricia Lim Pui Huen’s book One-Legged Football And Other Stories focus on individuals living with an array of disabilities.
