A memoir about disability, motherhood, and a journey to far-flung places in search of a new way of seeing and being seen.

What The Reviewers Say

Kate Tuttle,
New York Times Book Review
[Jones] long believed that the only way to deserve anyone else’s respect, much less desire, was to 'be extraordinary in all other aspects,' brilliant and witty and humorous and cool. If the book is any proof, Jones is all these things. But there’s more to this gorgeous, vividly alive memoir.
Arianna Rebolini,
Oprah Daily
Transcendent.
Emily Dziuban,
Booklist
Jones’ soul-stretching, breathtaking existential memoir chronicles her reclaiming of body, mind, and self.
Mattie Cook,
Library Journal
Jones...presents, with unflinching honesty, this memoir about living with disability.
