Reviews:
"Dr. Webb's life story confirms yet again the significance of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Webb wants what all people want--to be judged as an individual, based on facts and qualifications and not on fear, ignorance, prejudice, stereotypes, or patronizing attitudes. Her life journey leads us to an understanding of the basic message of the ADA."--SENATOR TOM HARKIN "This fascinating story of very human, often traumatic experiences along life's pathway not only amuses and instructs but leads us to reconsider and reflect on our own journey."--
DR. WILGA M. RIVERS "Warning! Reading this book will leave you with a new appreciation for the intense emotiona-laden meaning some of our sisters and brothers attach to words like acceptability, accessibility, and opportunity."--
REVEREND CHARLES L. BRIEM "Ruth Webb's account of her life journey both boggles the mind and stretches the soul." --
REVEREND MICHAEL D. SMITH ". . . a deeply personal insight into the daily struggles of a remarkable woman."--
DR. J. A. WEHR "Ruth Webb perservered in her journey toward personhood, and what a person she is! After you meet her in these pages, you will stand taller before the storms of your own life."--
DR. JOSEPH P. BISHOP
