Synopsis
Kensal Press [Published date: 1984]. Hard cover, 224 pp. No other printings listed. Includes 4 pages of black and white photo reproductions. [From front jacket flap] Losing a leg in a rail accident at the age of twelve was the least of the afflictions to befall Mimi Rudulph in an incredible life of suffering and endurance. She was smitten with Bulbar spinal polio as a young bride. She gave birth to her second baby inside the iron lung. She survived countless doctor's warnings of death. She fought back against total paralysis 5 respiratory failure and unremitting pain to rebuild a useful life from wheelchair and breathing machine, making a major contribution to musical education and administration in California. She lives there today, still fighting pain, still holding death precariously at bay, yet still organising concerts, competitions and music festivals and putting her own experience at the service of other disabled people. Mimi Rudulph has told her own story, from the time of the loss of her leg to her struggle against a killer disease. The devastating simplicity of her style, the heart-rending poignancy of her story, the inspiring nature of her example, make this book a moving experience. She has a staggering - even shocking - talent for revealing the deepest feelings of her heart.
