"Ten Steps Behind": Living in a System That Was Never Built for You

By Joseph t Nauseef

There are people who start at the same line.

And then there are the rest of us-the ones who start ten steps behind and spend our lives trying to make up ground in a system that was never designed for us to win.

This isn't a feel-good story.
It's not inspiration wrapped in a neat little bow.

It's real life.

From overpriced "accessible" experiences to a healthcare system that charges thousands just to keep you alive, this book pulls back the curtain on what it actually means to live with disability in a world that prefers awareness over action.

Through dark humor, brutal honesty, and moments that hit harder than they should, Ten Steps Behind challenges the idea that things are getting better-and asks a simple question:

If everyone sees the problem...
why hasn't anything changed?

This isn't about pity.
It's about reality.

And the people still pushing forward anyway.
