{"product_id":"9781565840256","title":"What Happened To You?","description":"\u003cp\u003eLois Keith was thirty-five, with a successful career, two daughters, and a partner of many years, when she was hit by a car and paralyzed from the waist down. Over the next few years, she discovered both a community of disabled people and a paucity of literature and public understanding about their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response, she began soliciting the manuscripts that make up \u003ci\u003e“What Happened to You?”\u003c\/i\u003e, a candid, powerful, and often hilarious collection of fiction, essays, and poetry by women with disabilities. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, impairments and experiences, the thirty-six women included in the book write on everything from access to abuse, equality to equanimity, in what may well be the definitive volume on living with a disability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, this anthology tells a universal story about dealing with pain and illness, about overcoming prejudice and unjust legislation, and about the importance, regardless of an individual’s fortitude, of creating a community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047319716080,"sku":"9781565840256","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781565840256_p0.jpg?v=1763786807","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781565840256","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
