hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

An excellent account of Heumann's life and the disability rights movement in America from post-WWII to the 2010s. It did lack a little final polish, I caught several grammar mistakes and felt like the ending didn't have quite the wrap up it could have. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of reading it, please note it is more of a historical account than details of Heumann's day to day life.
