Look Ma, no hands : a chronic pain memoir / by Drolet, Gabrielle,author.;

"A humorous, charming, profound debut memoir about chronic pain, accessibility, and young adulthood, by an acclaimed essayist and cartoonist. In 2020, Gabrielle Drolet developed a condition that made her unable to use her hands. It only worsened over time, and as a writer and artist, she had to learn new ways of creating and expressing herself. She placed her first cartoon in The New Yorker -- and then was unable to draw for a full year. She has since found ways around this using graphic design software, exercises, and many, many breaks, but the experience has completely changed her life. In Look Ma, No Hands, Gabrielle explores both the difficulty and the humour of developing chronic and life-altering pain in her twenties. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of her life touched by her disability -- how she learned to write when she couldn't type, to cook when she couldn't chop, to assemble IKEA furniture when she couldn't twist an Allen key. She breaks up with her girlfriend and has to figure out how to manage the most mundane tasks without anyone to help her. She moves cities and has to navigate different Byzantine health systems without the privilege or security of having a family doctor. And yet, through it all, she manages to maintain the most wonderful sense of the absurd. Rich with profound reflections on life's curve balls, Look Ma, No Hands is a joy to read, relatable, and the work of a rising new talent"--

Breathe and count back from ten / by Sylvester, Natalia,author.;

"Verónica has had many surgeries to manage her disability. The best form of rehabilitation is swimming, so she spends hours in the pool, but not just to strengthen her body. Her Florida town is home to Mermaid Cove, a kitschy underwater attraction where professional mermaids perform in giant tanks ... and Verónica wants to audition. But her conservative Peruvian parents would never go for it. And they definitely would never let her be with Alex, her cute new neighbor. She decides it's time to seize control of her life, but her plans come crashing down when she learns her parents have been hiding the truth from her--the truth about her own body."--013+.

Love letters for Joy / by See, Melissa,author.;

"Less than a year away from graduation, seventeen-year-old Joy is too busy overachieving to be worried about relationships. She's determined to be Caldwell Prep's first disabled valedictorian. And she only has one person to beat, her academic rival Nathaniel. But it's senior year and everyone seems to be obsessed with pairing up. One of her best friends may be developing feelings for her and the other uses Caldwell's anonymous love-letter writer to snag the girl of her dreams. Joy starts to wonder if she has missed out on a quintessential high school experience. She is asexual, but that's no reason she can't experience first love, right? She writes to Caldwell Cupid to help her sort out these new feelings and, over time, finds herself falling for the mysterious voice behind the letters. But falling in love might mean risking what she wants most, especially when the letter-writer turns out to be the last person she would ever expect"--
