This moving story narrates a young womans contentment with life in the face of disability and her triumph over the debilitating attack of scoliosis. Excerpts: Scoliosis is a rare disease that belittles its victim not only physically but also psychologically. Pain percolated my spirit like a cancerous cell and continued to wreak havoc within me until it reached the depth of my soul. ... It installed itself in my body as a ruthless adversary and an unfailing companion. This monster tormented me day and night; it exposed me to humiliation and distraction until I almost went out of my mind. ... when a young woman says she doesnt care a hoot about peoples opinion of her appearance, it is either because she has gone out of her mind or that she is living in cloud cuckoo land. While a page brings smiles to your lips, the next wells up tears in your eyes. It is an intensely moving story, as humorous as it is touching. Kofoworola is a natural story teller Kehinde A. Ayoola PhD, Kofoworolas editor.

Download or read book Hearts So Big written by MJ Fields and published by MJ Fields. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We don’t always choose who we fall in love with. It just so happened that I fell in love over a box of crayons and a smile. Growing up, it was always the three of us: Elijah Donahue, with his genius IQ and a smile he only shared with me. Our best friend, Aaron Esposito, with his crystal-blue eyes and a smile he shared with everyone. And me, Stella McCarty, the girl with the chapped lips and unruly hair. Then we grew apart, which is putting it mildly. I felt the loss, though my heart belonged to Elijah and his to me. When my father passed away, we grew back together again. I couldn’t have gotten through that time if not for the both of them. But then, when I graduated from college and moved back home from London, it became obvious that I had been oblivious to the fact that they had never stopped hating one another. Elijah and Aaron’s hate for one another had apparently been hindered by their love for me. Only, I didn’t know that they both loved me in the same way. And I wished I never did. Love isn’t supposed to feel like this. It isn’t supposed to hurt.
