Ghost Boy

Wow!

An amazing life story told through unflinchingly honest writing. I don't have the same physical limitations Mr. Pistorius does, yet I relate to so much in this book.

Fair warning. There are some chapters that are extremely hard to read. The author recounts the physical and sexual abuse he was subjected to with the same transparent bluntness he uses throughout the book. Some of the descriptions are explicit.

I recommend this to anyone who has a disability of any kind, or knows someone who does.

This is a much needed look at what it's like to live with a disability that too often serves as a wall to keep others out. the book is at times, depressing and frightening. But it also shows how hope can spring up and blossom even in the most hopeless of circumstances.
