This Too Is A Life: Essays on DisabiliThis Too Is A Life: Essays on Disability, Humanity and Resilience

What does it mean to live fully in a body and a world that often misunderstands disability?

This Too Is a Life brings together disabled writers, advocates, creatives, and thinkers whose personal essays resist the idea that any life can be reduced to a diagnosis, prognosis, chart, benefit form, or stereotype. With candor, humor, grief, faith, insight, and hope, contributors explore healthcare, identity, autonomy, access, work, relationships, creativity, resilience, community, and joy. The result is not one universal disability story, but a gathering of distinct lives and perspectives that invites readers to listen, reflect, and see disability with greater understanding. Ideal for individual readers, book clubs, classrooms, disability organizations, faith communities, and healthcare and social-service professionals.
