{"product_id":"9781469146416","title":"Crying In Silence","description":"This is an extraordinary autobiography relating to a young Woman´s experience living with Cerebral Palsy and its accompanying seizures.  Shelley     O´Leary addresses her affliction in a realistic manner in that she acknowledges her physical status with a commitment to overcome her deficiency and a determination not to admit failure. With her God-given gifts of empathy and kindness, Shelley has served as a Role Model for the children she cares for on a daily basis in an educational forum. She has been blessed with the support of the medical community, her friends, co-workers, and, most importantly, her Family.  When told that she would never be able to attend higher education, Shelley refused to despair and decided to tackle head-on a college curriculum on two separate occasions.  This refusal to give in to self-pity has culminated in her acquiring two Associate Degrees, one in Business Management, and the other in Therapeutic Recreation.  Shelley works at the prestigious Morrison Center for the Physically-Challenged in the Greater Portland, Maine area. As you read her story, you will attest to her \"never say die\" attitude and her childhood mantra, \"My Do It!\"  Shelley Lynn O´Leary demonstrates having the \"heart of a lion\" and is an extraordinary example of a willingness to overcome any and all obstacles.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130297532656,"sku":"9781469146416","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469146416_p0.jpg?v=1763698517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469146416","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
