"Too Early for Flowers: The Story of a Polio Mother" by Kurt Sipolski rang very true for me in many ways. My mother in law is 87 and has lived with a polio leg for 82 of them.This heart felt memoir style novel brings with it a lot of painful details about the often drakonian early ways of treating the disease and the lack of knowledge about it. The descriptions are accurate and illustrate perfectly the struggles and the progress made over the decades.I personally found the blend of fact and fiction a little distracting as it made me wonder what was true and what was made up. The story is however very informative and inspiring in many ways and a very recommendable read.
