DESCRIPTION:
Not for me meshla I have CP as well By chance, I was born in Africa about the same time as the author. I am sad, but not sorry, for all she went through as a disabled person. I was completely angry, however, because she whines about her life throughout the book. She is far less disabled by CP than I am. She can walk on crutches: I have to use a power wheelchair now.

The friend has a million things to complain about but she NEVER does; in fact she's always thankful for what she does have. Perhaps that gave me a slanted view of this book.
