Author:
Johnson, Harriet McBryde
Due to a congenital neuromuscular disease, Johnson has never been able to walk, dress or bathe without assistance. With help, however, she has been able to earn a law degree, maintain a solo practice, and take on a world of discrimination, prejudice and legal barriers to differently abled people with dreams and ambitions. This unconventional memoir opens with a lyrical meditation on death and ends with a surprising sermon on pleasure. In between is a story only she can tell.
