Sample Book Insights:

#1 I am the youngest of six siblings, and I was born two years after the other five. My family never locks their front door, and neighborhood kids come and go as they please. They don’t believe in wearing seat belts or washing their hands before dinner.

#2 I was always in my own world, and I thought I was beautiful, valuable, and fully capable of contributing to the group. But I didn’t realize that I didn’t fit in. I began to believe that I was a burden on the people around me.

#3 I began to believe I was ugly and weak. I couldn’t see or know any disabled people who were employed, and I couldn’t imagine supporting myself with a real job. I was an uninvited intruder in the world.

#4 I didn’t use the word ableism when talking with David, because I was afraid that it would sound like just another ism in a long list that people are already tired of tracking. But I wanted to use it here, because I wanted to assemble something big and intricate.
