De: Peg Kehret

Narrado por: Susan Boyce

Acclaimed author Peg Kehret has written the true story of the year when she was twelve and stricken with polio. At first paralyzed and terrified, she fought her way to recovery, aided by doctors and therapists, a loving family, supportive roommates fighting their own battles with the disease, and plenty of grit and luck. With the humor and suspense that are her trademarks, Peg Kehret vividly recreates a year of heartbreak and triumph.

Excellent

When I was a child my parents would send me to my grandparents farm in an attempt to keep me safe from polio. This book brought back so many memories of that terrible time. It is very well written and the narration was excellent. I highly recommend the book!

I loved this book. My favorite parts are the chocolate milkshake and when she meets the girls in 202 and Tommy 🥲. This is so informative I had no idea that there were three kinds of polio! Peg is so smart and quirky she’s just a thirteen year old who happens to have polio. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But yet she is so different but yet not. 🥰☺️🙃🫠 GO PEG!!!🥳
