Recalibrating Gravity: A Memoir In Verse
by Mary KeatingPublish: Sep 02, 2024Poetry Biographies & Memoirs Religion & Spirituality Book Overview
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 she became paralyzed in a car accident. With a wheelchair as a permanent accessory, she was no longer seen as "hot" or one of the "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.
