À propos de ce contenu audio
A collision with a moose on a dark highway left Susan Mockler with an incomplete spinal injury, suddenly compromising her ability to walk and to care for herself. She spent months in a rehabilitation facility learning how to adjust to her new reality, and though her body partially recovered, every aspect of her life changed.
Fractured is a compelling illumination of the challenges of acquired disability and the ways in which people with disabilities are sidelined and infantilised. Mockler, a psychotherapist, speaks with frank honesty about her family and friends’ reactions to her injury, and the hard-won lessons that she and those around her learned from her experience.

Commentaires
“Susan Mockler is a force—in writing, in life, in the world. Fractured is an unflinching look at the realities, both systemic and individual, of disability, and a testament both to the power of human will and to our need, as a society, to do better. Grace, determination, and power illuminate every page of this beautiful book. These words will stay with you forever.”—Amanda Leduc, author of Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space, and The Centaur’s Wife
