Description

From the rose fields of Oman and the dizzying heights of La Paz, to Camden's cobblestones and that one "totally wheelchair-friendly" doorstep, these prize-winning essays share the unvarnished truth of life with a disability or chronic illness.
In each chapter, an emerging writer offers their perspective on how disability and chronic illness have affected their lives, and how they handle obstacles and find community. The essays offer insight into stigma, institutional bias, and the quiet ableism that often slips by unnoticed, or gets buried under good intentions that go nowhere. They also share stories of resistance, belonging, and thriving - whether it's a day for challenging boundaries or taking a breath and resting.
Raw, relatable, and conversation-sparking, this anthology highlights the voices of a community that is too often silenced.
