I enjoyed reading the first part of the book about her recovery from polio through the Alexander Technique. Her character description of Alexander is her own view of a man who helped her tremendously but that she came to despise later. She reveals more herself than "the man" in this exercise. However, it is an excellent read that gave me a lot of hope for those who have suffered injuries and disabilities.

This is a wonderful introduction to the Alexander Technique for those of us who are physically different and wonder if this can help with those of us marred by surgery or deformity. It is easy to read and full of interesting information found no place else in the AT literature
