“Everyone has a chair. That thing you are bound to or unwillingly defines you. An element that makes you different from the rest. One that you have little choice in the matter. What’s YOUR chair?”
At 16, she was in a horrific car accident that caused her to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Instead of feeling sorry for herself (although of COURSE she did at times) she stood back (mentally) assessed her situation, decided what she wanted to change and DID IT. Over and over again. And is still doing it.
This is a real memoir. Honest. Sometimes hard to read. It’s inspiring because something that could have limited the rest of her life, killing her hopes and dreams, was actually a springboard to all she would do and become.
I highly recommend when i grow up i want TO BE A CHAIR – a memoir by Ryan Rae Harbuck.
