Book Review : Maternity Rolls: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Disability by Heather Kuttai

I have just finished reading Maternity Rolls and found it to be story of honesty, faith, coping, trials, confrontation, and love. If we too are honest with ourselves, we've always wanted to know just how it is that a disabled person functions and just gets through life. Unless having experienced a similar situation, none of us could imagine what it would be like for a 6 year old girl and her family to face the struggles after experiencing a life altering accident and living your life in a wheelchair.

I thank Ms. Kuttai for this very frank insight into her life, her thoughts, her pain and frustrations, as well as the confidence, the self learning, assertiveness, love, and success as a woman, mother, wife, and athlete. I personally have gained insights into the life of a disabled woman. Our society obviously has a long way to go in terms of equality, so kudos to Ms. Kuttai for this enlightenment.

Thanks also to Fernwood Publishing for providing this book for review.    Rating:  ( )
