For this week's episode of the podcast, Lucy and our ambassador Maddy speak to the author James Melville Ross all about his book 'Two for Joy'.
'Two for Joy' is the heart-warming true story of disabled twins Thomas and Alice, and their desperate fight for life after being born four months prematurely. James Melville-Ross, their father, tells of how the twins not only survived - despite being given the last rites as babies - but also thrived.
