Poster Child by Emily Rapp
Poster Child is Emily Rapp's memoir of growing up with a congenital condition that led her to have several operations, eventually lose her left leg below the knee, and become the poster child for the March of Dimes. Emily Rapp is inspiring in this book, in which she details her experiences with the operations and her artificial leg. I felt a lot of parallels between this book and my own journey with hearing aids and audiologists.
