- Summary
- This book inspires equality for people with disabilities by candidly talking about the life of Kristin M. Rytter, Ph.D. who grew up with a severe physical disability and no speech. It paints a vivid picture of how some key people raised her beyond the societal ignorance and helped her have an amazing life with a full range of experiences. These experiences include learning to read, attending a regular school, going to school dances, falling in love, going to college, holding down a job, and dealing with death. The book also discloses the daily suppression of people with disabilities. Whether it is a good or bad experience, this book has been skillfully written so that able-bodied people can identify with Rytter. Every one of us was indeed created equal, and society created disability.
