I couldn't put down this account of Michael B's determination to live as normal a life as possible following recovery from childhood polio. The story struck a chord with me as I recognized the struggles two of my childhood friends also faced as they grew up in the sixties with disabilities left after their survival from the disease. People my age will recall the vaccines and the iron lungs that many a patient spent months and sometimes years in. This is a very brave story and one that's told from the heart. I would highly recommend you read it, if only to be thankful that we've come a long way in the prevention of this awful disease that claimed so many young lives and left even more people struggling with varying degrees of disablement.
