Why read it?
1 author picked Slow Dance as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This memoir touched on all the feelings and struggles young stroke survivors experience and how love made the journey endurable. I related to much of her story, but I was more thankful than her. She writes about the inaccessibility of structures, and the ignorance society has about the disabled. All of this is true, but I was so grateful to be alive and free from being locked in; inaccessibility issues had no place in my memoir.
From Shawn's list on accepting and moving on from a tragedy.
