WHEELCHAIR CHIC

Wheelchair Chic This book is a personal narrative with poignant anecdotes of a woman sharing how her personal need of fashion, sense of style and confidence were factors in helping her to maintain a positive attitude despite living through the trials of being a non-walker. The primary focus in this book is dealing with physical and societal challenges while attempting to live a “normal” life. The author relates her difficulties and shows how a positive “in charge” attitude can be a real asset to internalizing that positive affect. Looking her best by using make-up and clothes is discussed in relationship to body image and maximizing all her positive features. Finding a job and dealing with challenges, both physical and emotional, are addressed in an upbeat way…like making sweet lemonade out of sour lemons.
