Everybody has a story, but most are never told. In her early eighties, Sally Mackay decided it was time to share hers. The resulting book is a moving, courageous, and often lighthearted account of growing up with polio from the age 8—before vaccines were widely available. The disease caused sudden and complete paralysis of the lower half of her body. Sally spent nearly two years confined to a hospital bed yet still went on to live an enormously full and rewarding life.
