This book is about one person's journey through life. This is an inspiring, thought provoking book to read, ponder, and absorb. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to share the journey and benefit from the insights,and lessons learned to achieve a more harmonious life. There are many facets of Ms. Laraway's life that are positive; her career achievements, her supportive family, friends, and devoted companion dogs. I found her greatest assets are her intelligence, sense of humor, and faith. I am a caregiver for a stroke survivor and what I found helpful was the author's approach to coping with loss of physical ability, the need for independence, overcoming fear, replacing myths, and mental self-examination. She has balanced the importance of caring for her spiritual inner self as well as her material body. Cheers to a truly unique, wonderful, and courageous human being!

I loved this book! It has it all- DOGS, LIFE, HEALTH, and SPIRITUALITY. Lee Ann Laraway shows her very difficult journey being a polio survivor, but she is NEVER a VICTIM. She showed me how to be strong when you can not be strong physically. It was interesting getting into the mind and body of a disabled person. Someone said you are never free until you have nothing left to loose; this story shows how the author replaced all the things she lost physically with stronger spiritual strengths. While we will not all become disabled, we will all loose our youth and abilities. Ms. Laraway just revealed her own faster journey that we all will eventually take. Very good book about the human condition.
