About
I Am Free is Patricia Ingle's memoir, the story of an inspirational young Limerick woman who contracted a rare airborne brain infection that left her in a locked-in state of complete paralysis at the tender age of 19. How could a simple virus have caused such deterioration? How could this have happened while in the care of experts? And why were the HSE and Community Care refusing to discharge her from hospital? These are the questions posed by Patricia's legal team when they are engaged by Patricia's parents to fight for her discharge from hospital and have her released after 1,069 days. Patricia's relentless determination, positive attitude and wicked sense of humour help her overcome unimaginable obstacles and grasp a second chance in life. I Am Free is motivating and uplifting as the incredible Patricia shares her harrowing experiences, her unbelievable achievements and her future hopes and dreams. The book was written with the assistance of ghostwriter Mary Malone
