Publisher's Synopsis
Born with Cerebral Palsy, Bill Kohut had challenges from his very first day. Relying on the love of his mother, his trust in God, and a remarkable sense of humour, Bill was able to overcome it all: an abusive father, repeated heartbreak, and the ignorance of others. Through the eyes of a man moving through life with compassion and searching for love, Under my Wheels provides a view into a world the able-bodied rarely glimpse. With courage and poise (and some complaining), Bill tells his story of growing up as a kid in the 1970s, when resources were not available and a lack of comprehension of his condition was common. Moving into a group home to escape his father's wrath through to gaining his own apartment, Bill shares all his experiences as a young man in a wheelchair who refused to accept limits, making his way through a world not built for the disabled. It's an uplifting story of perseverance and faith that gives readers a deeper understanding of a life on wheels.
