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.

Albert Samah –
Inspirational, Educative and Entertaining. A Great piece
In “The Girl with Special Shoes: Miracles Don’t Always Look Like You’d Expect”, Hilda Bih captures growing up in Cameroon. Hilda’s story is a paradox of lack in abundance, despair in hope, courage in fear, and loneliness in togetherness.With first-hand experience, Hilda highlights discrimination, stereotyping, injustices, biases, and segregation associated with growing up and living with a disability. This masterpiece touches on policy issues related to poverty, human rights, gender, the killing of children with disabilities, injustice, disability-related unemployment, women in the media, and ethnicity.Despite the experiences encountered in her journey, Hilda scaled through them to become a media icon with international recognition. Her courage, resilience, hard work, and faith in Christ offer a model to those whose potential, purpose, and dreams are constantly stifled and ensnared by self-imposed and socio-cultural limitations. I enjoyed reading through every page and highly recommend this book as a text for secondary schools.
