Ten percent of the population is affected by a learning disability,
but few of us understand what being learning disabled (LD) is
really like. When he was fourteen, Bradlee was diagnosed with
Velo-Cardio-Facial-Syndrome (VCFS), a wide-spread,
little-understood disorder that is expressed through a wide range
of physical ailments and learning disabilities. In this funny,
moving, and often irreverent book, Bradlee tells his own
inspirational story of growing up as an LD kid--and of doing so as
the child of larger-than-life, formidably accomplished parents:
long-time Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee and
bestselling author Sally Quinn. From his difficulties reading
social cues, to his cringe-worthy loss of sexual innocence, Bradlee
describes the challenges and joys of living "a different life" with
disarming candor and humor. By the end of "A Different Life" he
will have become, if not your best friend, one of your favorite
people.
