Recalibrating Gravity

Welcome to the world of Mary Keating, a quick-witted, fun-loving paraplegic. (Note, however, that she cringes at being labeled.) Fifty years ago, Mary's wide-open world instantly contracted at age fifteen when a teenager drove her into an oak tree at maximum speed. With a wheelchair as a permanent accessory, she was no longer seen as ""hot"" or one of ""in"" crowd. She found herself transported into an alternate reality defined now by her disability.When life becomes overwhelming, Mary jokingly pretends she's trapped in a bad B movie waiting for a new director. Her poetry collection reminds us, no matter how hard life may seem grace, love, and humor will save us from despair and allow us to live our best life under any circumstances.
