About this listen
'Astonishing, important, and truly radical ... this book is completely transformative' POLLY MORLAND
'To Exist As I Am reflects on the boundaries between those who care, and those who receive care in an absolutely extraordinary way ... Essential reading' XAND VAN TULLEKEN
'Inspiring and life-affirming' VIV GROSKOP
It wasn't a car crash, but there was a collision. He fell from the third floor.
At the age of twenty-two, Grace Spence Green's spine was broken at the fourth thoracic vertebra, and her life changed tracks. One day, she was in hospital supporting patients, the next she was one.
To Exist As I Am traces Grace's journey back to the wards and back to herself - as words like recovery, independence and community, well and unwell, took on new meanings.
She asks how we might fight for change, while joyously embracing life exactly as we are.
'It'll change the way you think about disability. Stop whatever it is that you're reading and read Grace Spence Green instead' GAVIN FRANCIS
'Unputdownable, awe-inspiring, necessary' GABRIEL WESTON
'So true and so beautiful' TOM SHAKESPEARE'©2025 Grace Spence Green (P)2025 Profile Books Ltd
