Man with cerebral palsy adapts screwdriver to write book

This author typed every word from his 160 pages book “Só o amor vale a pena” (“Only love is worth it”) with the help of a screwdriver wrapped up in duct tape.

It took almost two years for the writer to finish the book. He stayed in his room all day, typing in his computer, which was hard, because the screwdriver would often hit other buttons and he had to start over many times. But the book is finished, and available to everyone.

“This was the dream of a life time”, confessed the author.

The book tells the story of Fernanda, a young woman with cerebral palsy who falls in love with Richard, a boy from a wealth family. The woman tries to prove that love conquers all. “The book is dedicated to all people who can see beyond appearances”, explained Alexandro.

After publishing a book that was written using a home made solution, Alexandro had almost 400 copies sold.
