I highly recommend this book. It is the kind of book that made me smile when I read the last line. It is the story of a woman who has polio and gives birth in an iron lung. Her husband promptly leaves her and offers to have the baby adopted out. She will have none of it and manages to raise her daughter even though she is paralyzed from the neck down and needs a respirator to breathe. This book chronicles the ups and downs of their lives as they try to make the best of their situation.
