“I innocently picked up this book from the table at a relative's house, read the first page and could not put it down. The story of Simi Linton's internal and external struggles and revelations in a new world are presented in an effective understated tone that treats the reader as a partner in the adventure. Along the way we get to examine our own attitudes about disability. The book is so well written and real that I feel that I have been taken for that 'ride' the little girl asked about (you have to read the book).”

Simi Linton is currently booking a tour of a theatrical/multi-media adaptation of her memoir, a piece titled: My Body Politic: An Illustrated History. The work embeds a personal narrative of the lived experience of disability within its social and political context (Act One), and its artistic and cultural context (Act Two).
