Summary

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.

A great read, beautiful and inspirational. Resilience and support are intertwined. Timely reminder that vaccinations have cleared some diseases.

Beautiful and inspiring

My daughter and I listen to this audiobook together. Given my daughter's age is the same age as the protagonist and the fact we both knew little about polio, it was great to learn more about the virus through the eyes of Meg.

We both learnt a lot, finding the story interesting.

Highly recommend for preteens and young teens.

A great listen
