hospitals and disabilities weren't talked about, Ben Roe shares openly about

how this early-life trauma affected his heart and relationships - and

how he healed. He has written a moving and vulnerable account of

surviving and of thriving throughout his journey with polio as a child

and as an adult. He shares his experiences of isolation, detachment

from family, resilience, and great hope. especially valuable for those in the post-polio

community as well as nurses, chaplains, educators, and caregivers.
