Have you ever felt terminally unique? Like a square peg unable to fit into a round hole? Has being physically different or feeling alone in the world been challenging? Waiting for life to begin after it’s half over isn’t necessary.

 

Thalidomide survivor, Laura Kendall, will tell you how she discovered letting go was possible without leaving claw marks. She hopes her story will pave the way to:

 

• Acceptance despite one’s differences whether obvious or internalized

• Gaining peace through healing and willingness to change

• Learning to love yourself by getting out of your own way

 

This birth defect memoir is for you if you lack self-love, confidence or wish to be free from whatever keeps you in the dark. We are only here for a short time. Life is only as difficult as we make it and no one has to take the long way home.
