Language: PG (2 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: PG; Violence: PG

AUDIENCE APPEAL: MS, HS - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

These seventeen stories are experiences written by those who have disabilities to share their experiences, their points of view. They show readers issues, needs, and complications that most people don’t think about because they haven’t had to. It’s time to open your eyes.

Being able to see new points of view and introduce new thoughts I’ve never had are two of the reasons I love to read. All seventeen of these stories are compelling because they are real, and readers can feel that. My world is expanding because of what I now know. The more people who know, the better the world will become for all of us.

The mature content rating is for mention of sexual harassment, and the violence rating is for mentions of suicide and abuse.
