Description:
|
Born prematurely with cerebral palsy in 1999, Australian Hannah Diviney has always known what it is like to be regarded as different. But rather than letting the world tell her how and who she should be, Hannah, an actor, writer and disability advocate is crafting her future with gusto. Confronting, inspiring and intensely readable, this is a thought-provoking and informative memoir conveying a lived experience of disability.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"This book is an easy read, but don't mistake that for flimsy. It is also very informative, and singularly well written for such a young writer."
"Honest, direct, confronting and inspiring."
"Full of humour and funny little comments, which are perfect to break up the serious topics discussed."
"Filled with extremely personal details, which makes it relatable for the reader "” no matter the age."
"An inspirational voice for those who often may not be heard."
"I think it would be a real eye-opener for our book group. Ideas and attitudes will be challenged."
"Diviney wants to lead a change in the view of disabled people and positively describes herself as mouthy, sarcastic, unfiltered and happy to speak the truth."
"There are several triggering topics in this book (sexual assault, drug addiction, discimination, mental illness) but there is a trigger warnings list for each chapter at the back of the book."
