mxnjrees's review against another edition

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

A must read for anyone who wants to understand the modern experience of disability, or feel validated in their own interactions with oppressive systems. This book is impressively intersectional, touching on sexism, racism, religious, and other cultural overlap with the blind community. Leland writes with great insight, compassion, and clarity on a topic few authors have tried to tackle: a disability narrative with the nuances fully present, challenging, and affirming to anyone who's living with similar struggles and joys.
