Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse

By Shane Burcaw

Book Overview

Shane Burcaw is a blogger, an entrepreneur, and an award-winning writer known for his wiseass humor and enthusiasm for life. All this and he's just twentysomething years old. Oh, and you should also know that he has spinal muscular atrophy, a disease that makes his body get weaker as he gets older. But Shane's life is anything but tragic. Shane has a hilarious and unique perspective on living a full and happy life. From anecdotes about first introductions when people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for his nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace. Filled with essays detailing day-to-day life as a wheelchair user with a muscle-wasting disease, Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse is about family, falling in love, and becoming an adult.
