My extraordinary life

the long version

"Monica Sucha Vickers was born in 1954 in Salina, Kansas without legs and only one arm during the 1950's thalidomide era ... An easy-to-read, well-written, inspirational, uplifting book describing struggles, joys, hardships, griefs, frustrations associated with growing up with a disability. Having a disability today is more commonly accepted than when Monica grew up. She was born with 3 missing limbs and was not expected to survive even a few weeks, let alone live a full adult life. Monica's perseverance and willpower are outstanding, and will give the reader a new perception of and respect for those who are disabled."--Amazon.com.
