Lisa Jones made a conscious choice to disregard what fate might have chosen for her, instead embracing and consistently using her free will to the maximum. What My Wheelchair Taught Me is about Lisa Jones, soulmate to others and how she has led her normal life, but it is also about Lisa Jones, the woman with a disability, and how her life has been shaped by disability and the world’s reaction to it. What My Wheelchair Taught Me seeks to change people’s perceptions and beliefs about people with disabilities by showing the impact Jones’ disability has had on her life, and by revealing insights into how people with disabilities are treated and why. We need to see people first for what they can do, not what they cannot do. Her writing shows readers with disabilities the true range of possibilities they have by giving a gentle push to live their own authentic lives, making their own life decisions, and achieving possibilities despite their disability. This change in perception can lead to seeing disability as an inconvenience to be managed, not as an unchangeable life sentence. People with disabilities can experience a rich range of human experiences that our culture doesn’t consider normal or necessary for people, especially women, with disabilities. Even if we have a disability, we can still do whatever we would like or want to do, just maybe not in the same way as everyone else. No one needs to be judged solely or primarily based on the things they are unable to do.

While there are many introductions to disability and disability studies, most presume an advanced academic knowledge of a range of subjects. Beginning with Disability is the first introductory primer for disaibility studies aimed at first year students in two- and four-year colleges. This volume of essays across disciplines—including education, sociology, communications, psychology, social sciences, and humanities—features accessible, readable, and relatively short chapters that do not require specialized knowledge. Lennard Davis, along with a team of consulting editors, has compiled a number of blogs, vlogs, and other videos to make the materials more relatable and vivid to students. "Subject to Debate" boxes spotlight short pro and con pieces on controversial subjects that can be debated in class or act as prompts for assignments.

Everything seemed perfect in James Richardson's life. All the components of the American Dream seemed to be in place: a lovely home, a wife, two sons, the time required for fishing and outdoors adventures, and an invigorating career as an advanced placement world history teacher in Tampa, Florida. In the horror of a split-second, high-speed traffic accident, everything changed. When Richardson awoke in a hospital weeks later with a variety of physical and emotional injuries, he had no idea the obstacles he was about to face. Overcome by a haze of bewilderment, he tried to rise from his hospital bed. He crashed to the floor. His left leg was gone. One by one, the seemingly perfect building blocks of an American Dream were stripped from him. Secrets from his wife's past life emerged, painting a dark character with whom he had unwittingly shared every detail of his life. For James Richardson, this was the moment of truth. Alone, injured, boiling with anger, and with only a string of hope, he had to ask himself: Would he ever again be Standing on Two Feet?

Staying strong through ARDS, vasculitis, paralysis, and recovery Did you ever wonder what would happen if your entire life changed completely in a single day? If everything you had ever known was turned upside down? Your health, your family, your job, your identity, your future-all changed forever? Breathless is the story of a woman who faced this terrifying and uncertain fate. Follow along on her journey as she describes her life as a mother, wife, and business executive who is successful, busy, happy, and healthy one day, and the next day is on life support in the ER as her lungs close after collapsing at home. As she endures a month in a medically induced coma while doctors frantically search for a cause, and her chances of survival become dim, her husband, family, and dear friends cover her in prayer beseeching God to spare her life. Miraculously, God spared her life! She recovered from the coma and ARDS, only to awaken completely paralyzed. Life had changed forever, and the battle to return to a sense of normalcy was overwhelming. She was unable to do anything for herself. Doctors anticipated possible recovery of some movement but didn't know for sure what the final outcome would be. After a year of physical therapy, strong determination, endless prayers, and the support of dear friends, she regained her mobility and was able to return to normal activities. The only problem was, life had moved on and her twenty-six-year career was gone. Thus a new battle began-a battle to discover who she was, and what God's plan was for her life. After struggling for a year to return to her "normal" life, only to find that normal no longer existed, what would life mean now? Who was she? What was normal when normal no longer existed? It was there when all else was gone that she discovered peace, comfort, and identity in Jesus. The author shares her poignant story of battling rejection, depression, and loss of identity by staying strong in hope, faith, and trust in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She shares how God became tangible through His word, leading her to a deeper knowledge of her purpose-driven life in Him.

My occupational memoir reveals one nurse’s bedside observations on where nurses come from, how we are educated, treated in the workplace and how we learn to do what can never be taught in a curriculum. When a patient vomits explosively onto your chest how you may unexpectedly vomit right back. How to explain to a deaf patient where a suppository goes while an audience of staff and visitors listen in from the hallway. How to collect your thoughts and make a plan when you arrive for a home care visit to find your elderly confused patient has ingested a full bottle of liquid laxative and left evidence of those results all over the walls, floor and Barco lounger in the home. It is where medical science meets nursing artistry. Where technology meets humanity. Where hearts open and wounds heal. Through selected vignettes, I recognize modern nurses’ courage to lean into discomfort and hard emotions. I acknowledge the power they hold in their healing hands and throw forward a lifeline of hope to renew their faith and joy in their vocation. And to my many non-nurse readers, come experience a nurse’s day; what we see, feel, hear and touch. Have a peek behind the bedside curtain.
