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."

Testimonials:
"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." ~ Macy, age
13, Nebraska |
