520 "I ask myself: how am I living still? And how I ask it
depends on the day. All her life, Emily has felt different
from other kids. Between therapist visits, sudden
uncontrollable bursts of anger, and unexplained episodes
of dizziness and loss of coordination, things have always
felt not right. For years, her only escape was through the
stories she'd craft about herself and the world around
her. But it isn't until a near-fatal accident when she's
twelve years old that Emily and her family discover the
truth: a grapefruit sized benign brain tumor at the base
of her skull. In turns candid, angry, and beautiful, Emily
Wing Smith's captivating memoir chronicles her struggles
with both mental and physical disabilities during her
childhood, the devastating accident that may have saved
her life, and the means by which she coped with it all:
writing. "This incredible journey from an awkward
childhood struggle through a brain tumor and near-fatal
accident to published writer is heart-wrenching and
inspiring. A must-read, especially for anyone who has ever
felt like an outsider."--James Dashner, #1 bestselling
author of the The Maze Runner series"--|cProvided by
