With liberal artist parents what em faces is a life with problems many would not consider, but his strength and determination sees him building a better future.As a child, he found himself plastered all over the tabloids – and the subject of a BBC documentary – when he was signed up for a pioneering surgical procedure in the United States that was supposed to improve his walk.

As a disabled person I really liked how Emmett showed through his own experiences the social versus medical models of disability and both how things have changed over time and yet so many of the same prejudices remain.

This book is warmth and emotional, is such a intimate memoir that is so intense and so beautiful that could be one of my favourite memoirs this years.
