Q: Why is your wife in a wheelchair?
A: Because she can’t walk.
Q: Why were you ironing in the nude anyway?
A: No wait, I can explain…
Q: Why would this happen to you?
A: Why wouldn’t it?
People ask the silliest things.
But for Jade and John Reynolds it’s the silence surrounding disability that’s the strangest of all.
When Jade unexpectedly suffered from a rare condition which left her paralysed and in a wheelchair at the age of twelve, she never imagined that she’d one day meet her husband John and that together they would take to social media to dispel the stigma surrounding disability, one story at a time.
From questions about suffering and sex to family and faith, Jade and John speak honestly and humorously about life as an inter-able couple. And here, they bring together the big questions (and big jokes) that have made them so popular online onto the page in a debut book that will help you reframe your hardship into reasons to hope.
It’s time to discover that no matter what life throws at you, you are truly, able to laugh.
