Here, she tells the story of how a toddler learned grown-up lessons too soon; a schoolgirl tried her best to be a \"normie,\" on into young adulthood; and a woman finally found her balance, physically and spiritually. In lucid, dryly humorous prose, she also explores how her disability has affected her choices in living a fulfilling (and amusing) life in every area--relationships, career, religion (or not), athleticism, artistic expression, and aging, to name a few.
