Blindsided

The reviews do not explain this book properly. It is a memoir of real reactions to a life of disability and illness. There is anger and low self-image. As the chipper ending occurs, the honest reactions coupled with work still achieved are more enduring to me than reflections on self-awareness and hope for children's learning for the better.

I connected with the anger lived and the lessons learned, not the last few pages of dreams of hope. Not that I don't have the same dreams, but I feel they hinder. Balance for me is a goal.

It gets a star off for some areas of repetitiveness.
