Sinopse

Tales from my Yellow Room is a first-hand account of the challenges of living with a congenital disability, and the invisible difficulties society adds to such a life. Written with candor and humor, this Scottish-American story may change people’s perception of disability.

Resumo da Crítica

"In Tales From My Yellow Room, author Marilyn Grunwald narrates a rip-roaring story of a life fired by a striving to live fully with her disability while waging jihad on discrimination through political activity. This continent and culture-spanning work, replete with curious and beloved characters, provides heartwarming and soul-stirring insights into some of the challenges faced by those among us who have lost a bit of ourselves or never had all of what most folks had to begin with, like Marilyn. As a reader, I had fun speaking Marilyn's prose aloud, something I invite you to try when you see a passage you like (I guarantee you'll find plenty), as this is one well-wrought book." Ryan Gierach, author, historian, and journalist

"When a reader picks up this memoir of a Scottish woman born in the 1950s with Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus expecting it to be a pity party, they will be gently but firmly disabused. In Tales from my Yellow Room, Marilyn Grunwald has written of a life of unending challenges that she has met at every turn with strength, grace, and wisdom, finding more happiness and success than many others starting out with far greater chances. It’s a stand-up-and-salute paean to life itself, that for a lot of folks will be a fresh way of looking at disability as we think we know it." Eric A. Gordon, Ph.D. Biographer and award-winning journalist."
