Why are biographies only written about famous people? We all have a story in us. In The Eighteen Point Five, twenty-five people share their personal and honest experiences of living with disabilities and disorders.
Our stories may shift your thinking and clear up misconceptions. Our contributors hope to encourage readers living with similar disabilities and disorders by sharing insights, challenges and achievements.
With no publishing experience and zero budget, we reached our goal with help, perseverance and hard work.
We are pleased with the book. We hope you are too.
