Hilda’s family didn’t know she had muscular dystrophy. They just knew their preschooler was losing her ability to walk. But they were determined to find a cure.

Being disabled in Cameroon meant not only obstacles to transport, but visits to diviners and evangelists, threats of sexual assault, discrimination, and a crisis of faith. Despite the hardship Hilda has faced, her family’s unwavering support and God’s unwavering grace have helped her persevere to become a national broadcaster. Her inspiring triumph over adversity will give you hope, no matter how dark your trials. Walk a mile in Hilda’s shoes and learn how:

• She lost her mobility and found her purpose.
• A gutsy girl broke the glass ceiling of disability.
• People saw her broken body, but God saw a worthy vessel.
• She and her family searched for healing, but God had other plans.
• She didn’t need to stand to be outstanding.
• God was on the move when she was stuck.

• Her hope overcame hardship.

  The Girl with Special Shoes is the witty and heartfelt story of a family’s sacrificial love and a God who refashions pain into purpose.
