Fascinating and important!

Revisado: 05-31-23

This autobiography is not only an important story that everyone should read, but it is also engaging and exciting.
Disabled people develop extraordinary resilience and adaptability skills that bring tremendous value to society when people can overcome their fears of a disabled body and open themselves to learning about them.

As a deaf person with a rare disease, this book helped me see and contend with my internalised ableism which is an ongoing battle. Living in an ableist world with disabilities is exhausting and sometimes terrifying. It's great to hear another voice clearly articulate all of the issues at hand.
Thank you, Elsa Sjuneson!

Fantastic story and dramatisation!

Revisado: 05-22-23

This book had me sucked wholly through. I loved the plot twists and dialogue. The dramatisation was excellent.
Also, I’m deaf and wear two cochlear implants and could understand everything spoke, and this was something that worried me when I knew there’d be background noise.

A great multicultural disability story set in NY!

Revisado: 01-13-23

I really enjoyed listening to Nadina LaSpina’s autobiography about growing up with polio and being an immigrant in New York.
It’s interesting to hear how all the different barriers in her life affected her. Also the lifelong dedication to disability rights activism.
And how relationships with men worked or didn’t work. There was a lot of things I didn’t know about. I’m at the beginning of my disability activism journey so this was really helpful and inspiring. I love how she talks about the reality of having a relationship with a man with MS. This is such a frightening disease to me because it’s so unfamiliar. I feel like I will be a bit better advocate and ally after reading this book. Thank you so much Nadina for writing this. You are impressive, caring, courageous, hard working and beautiful!

Written with great insight into how artists live their lives

Revisado: 04-23-21

I enjoyed listening to this book and felt it gives great insight into how artists live their lives. It does not skip over dark periods and mistakes made. You get the whole enchilada from joy, success, suffering and the daily grind of working women artists. It is a long and very detailed book. I work 8 - 9 hours every day in my art studio and this book was great company through the last couple of weeks. I will miss these women and their Remarkable stories!

A great comfort

Revisado: 05-29-19

This book is a great comfort and tool to help me survive going deaf. It has given me words that help explain and understand what I'm dealing with every day in a hearing world in my sudden unwanted isolation a loss of quality of life.
