Summary:
From the well-known CBC journalist comes a story of hardship, resilience and repeatedly learning the same lesson. Peter Kavanagh was just an infant when he was diagnosed with paralytic polio and suffered permanent paralysis in the lower part of his left leg. In this memoir, he combines medical history with a very personal case study. It documents coping with one's pain, guilt and shame, and the anger that arises from being bullied. It is also a story of healing and rehabilitation, and of hard lessons, hard earned.
