| What does prejudice
have to do with getting sick? | | | Is death really something
you get "over" ? |
From Perfection: "Sometimes
my head was like a remote control car motor always on fast forward. I'm always thinking, swimming, thinking about my past,
reliving memories, thinking, thinking. It never stops, the thinking. Dove to the bottom to sit for a minute and let my arms wave, my head bob with the underwater current. It was only
fifteen feet deep in the diving section, but it felt like miles away from that girl." |  |
...with twists and surprises that will keep you on the edge of every page.
Read it with a friend !
PERFECTION... ...is a story about being human through life's changes such as death or a disabling event and realizing that wellness can begin
right at home.
"I don't have any disability in my
life but I thought Perfection really was realistic about being a student, feeling
uneasy about yourself and learning that family and friends are so important." Jenny, age 23, Spokane, WA
"My niece has CP and we read
this book together and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the fast-paced style. Young people really do think and speak quickly
and so the story was a great portrayal of young adult life. My niece loved the romantic parts, too. Thanks for writing
it!" ~TJ,
age 18, California
"I never knew a kid without a leg or arm, so I kind of felt like Brad when I read the first pages, sick to my stomach.
Weird. But then the book at the beginning moved so fast now that I read it I don't think of people with differences and
different than me. They are just like me. I know I have some great talents and some lesser abilities, just like Brad and Tiffany."
