First Trade Paper Edition
Book Description
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Picador USA, 2006. First Trade Paper Edition. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. This lady pulls no punches. An entertaining look at an activist who insists on living life her way, disability or no; strongly recommended." - Library Journal. Harriet McBryde Johnson's witty and highly unconventional memoir opens with a lyrical meditation on death and ends with a bold and unsentimental sermon on pleasure. Born with a neuromuscular disease, Johnson has never been able to walk, dress, or bathe without assistance. With assistance, she passionately celebrates her life's richness and pleasures and pursues a formidable career as an attorney and activist. Whether rolling on the streets of Havana, on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, or in an auditorium at Princeton challenging philosopher Peter Singer, Johnson defies every preconception about people with disabilities, and shows how a life, be it long or short, is a treasure of infinite value. 261 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
