A graphic memoir about ableism and the small personal triumphs
which make up daily life in a society designed without you in mind.
A view into the endless challenges involved in navigating the world
while living with a progressive disability, including childhood
trauma, grief, and the struggle to obtain healthcare services. We
see the relief offered by alternative therapies, especially medical
marijuana, and the vital importance of the support of one's chosen
family and friends. The struggles of living in an inaccessible
world are at the heart of this collection of personal vignettes.
The strictures and structures of ableism weigh heavily on Maria’s
life. Able-bodied readers can see what it’s really like to view
life from the perspective of an ambulatory wheelchair-user, how
ordinary moments such as entering a building, going to a doctor’s
appointment, or simply getting through the day can be drastically
different for someone else. This book brings to light the
injustices that members of the disabled community endure on a daily
basis by often well-meaning and able-bodied individuals.
