Roots and fences

the long version

"Meet Jackie, Chuck, Jonathon, and Jamee--four people intricately linked by the common thread of disability. 'Roots and fences' tells of their life experiences, as well as their friends and families, from a phenomenological perspective. It's a compelling collection that exposes the reality of life for those with intellectual disabilities and the people who love them. Through these connective stories spanning over 50 years, you will laugh, cry, share in the adventures, meet the families, and perhaps even change your views about those who are labeled 'disabled'."--Back cover.
