What to expect
In a riveting story of courage and hope, Peg Kehret writes about months spent in a hospital when she was twelve, first struggling to survive a severe case of polio, then slowly learning to walk again.
Peg Kehret was stricken with polio when she was twelve years old. At first paralyzed and terrified, she fought her way to recovery, aided by doctors and therapists, a loving family, supportive roommates fighting their own battles with the disease, and plenty of grit and luck
With the humor and suspense that are her trademarks, acclaimed author Peg Kehret vividly recreates the true story of her year of heartbreak and triumph.
Critics Review
“A simple, direct, and sometimes self-deprecating style of writing tenderly draws readers into Kehret’s experiences…This lovely book refocuses attention on what matters most: health, love of family, friends, determination, generosity, and compassion.”
“She writes in an approachable, familiar way, and readers will be hooked from the first page on.”
“Neither sentimental nor saccharine, Susan Boyce moves steadily through the details of the trying days…Boyce also voices the worry of Peg’s parents, stress on the part of nurses…and both the optimism and discouragement of fellow patients.”
