A highly competent and independent woman, the head of a social service agency, is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She is pushed out of her job by her board, and is just ending a relationship. She finds herself alone with something she can't manage. Mentally and physically, she is having a tough time. She sees things in the shadows, she imagines things that aren't there. But then a series of crimes makes her believe other disabled people are being targeted. Is she paranoid? Brilliant? Doesn't matter, the authorities see her as a cripple and are not open to listening to her. This book is full of bad experiences suffered by the disabled every day. She wants to help herself but that is not always possible. An interesting perspective that sheds light on the perspective of the newly disabled.
