One million minutes : what my daughter taught me about time

Books, Manuscripts
When a stressed-out Wolf tells his four-year-old daughter Nina that he can only spend ten more minutes reading her bedtime stories before he has to get back to work, she wishes that they could have a million minutes together 'on the really good things. Let's go so far away, until we have time,' she says. Nina has cerebral ataxia and, although she is physically disabled, Wolf feels that the thing that really makes her different is her complete freedom of thought, uninhibited by political correctness and unlimited by the restrictions of 'reality'. As Wolf comes to understand the magnitude of her condition, he starts to reconsider what is most important in life. Despite a huge break-through in a career he has worked so hard for, he decides to step off the career ladder.
