DESCRIPTION:
Mattlin gives us a testament to the deep humanity that can manifest in any kind of body, and to the passionate love such humanity can provoke in others. --Andrew Solomon, author of Far and Away, National Book Critics Circle Award winner Far From the Tree, and National Book Award winner The Noonday Demon.. In this chronicle of will and hope, Ben Mattlin demystifies the inter-abled relationship, showing that it should be a matter neither of wonder nor of pity. This is an urgent, deeply felt, and sometimes hilarious account of marriages that feel as obvious to those within them as they do bewildering to many people outside them
