About this book
How do you navigate a world that wasn't built with you in mind? What's it really like to live with a disability? Linda Dezenski pulls no punches in this raw and revealing memoir. Born with cerebral palsy, Linda takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of life with a body that doesn't always cooperate and a society that often misunderstands. ?But Getting to the Real Me isn't just about struggles—it's a story of triumph. With humor and heart, Linda shares her lightbulb moment: Disability doesn't define her, it's just part of the package. Join Linda as she learns to embrace her whole self and discovers her mission to help others do the same. Whether you have a disability or not, this book will change how you see the world—and yourself.
