Craig Thorne's son Samuel was a healthy, active nine-year-old when a rare disease left him suddenly paralysed-unable to move or breathe.


'It's happened. It sucks that it's happened but it has. There's nothing we can do about it. We just need to move on, move forward.' - Samuel Thorne (aged nine) | Day 48 | 16 January 2016


Nerves of Steel is the story of a young boy's immense courage, as well as the life-altering impact his illness had on those closest to him.


In his emotional retelling of a 'parent's worst nightmare', Craig explores the lessons he learnt from Samuel's 480-day hospital stay-and his eventual

homecoming-in the hope that it might help anyone faced with a similar crisis.


Packed with practical advice and personal insights about daily life in a paediatric intensive care unit, Nerves of Steel is an invaluable guide for the parents and supporters of seriously ill children-as well as the health professionals who work with them.
