| Description: |
|
One of the most inspiring stories of the recent past was that of Brooke Ellison. The victim of an automobile accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down when she was eleven years old, Brooke never let her disability stop her from living her life to the fullest and becoming the first quadriplegic to graduate from Harvard University. But, as she eloquently reveals in this beautifully moving account of her life and accomplishments, her identity extends far beyond her physical limitations. Told with grace, warmth, and sparkling humour, The Brooke Ellison Story is not just about living with a disability, it is about overcoming adversity and celebrating the miracles that every day brings. |
