We just finished reading my FAVORITE book of all time....
Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio
I cannot read it without letting a tear go at the end because of the joy I feel in the success of overcoming this GIGANTIC challenge.
This heartfelt memoir takes readers back to 1949 when the author, at age 12, contracted polio. Using fictionalized dialogue, she describes her seven-month ordeal--her diagnosis and quarantine, her terrifying paralysis, her slow and difficult recuperation--and the people she encountered along the way.
