Book Description:
Living with cerebral palsy is enormously difficult. But what if you never knew you had it? This is the incredible story of Ilana Estelle.
Born the second of premature twins, from a young age Ilana knew she was different, but for all the wrong reasons. A child of the 60s, Ilana experienced first-hand the way that disability was so often brushed under the carpet and not spoken about. Her constant physical and mental struggles made her feel isolated, alone, frustrated, and misunderstood… it took 46 years for her to find out why.
Part memoir, part motivational guide, Cerebral Palsy: A Story is Ilana’s open and honest journey from an angry, confused child, knowing something was wrong, but not knowing what, to the ‘real’ her – a courageous woman using her experiences and lessons to create inspiring messages about mental and physical health, positivity, resilience and change.

Meet the Author:

My Review:
Cerebral Palsy: A Story: Finding the Calm After the Storm is a beautiful true story by Ilana Estelle. She was born with cerebral palsy but was not aware of this diagnosis until the forty six years of age. Throughout her life, she knew she was different and experienced challenges with her physical and mental health. She grew up in the nineteen sixties and having a disability was not talked about or acknowledged. She tells about what she went through as a confused and angry child to finally learning about her diagnosis. As I read about what she went through and how she dealt with, I admired her courage to tell her story. I learned so much from her and found she was teaching a lesson to her readers. I found that her bravery and determination was motivating to me. She is such a beautiful human being and I believe all readers would learn so much from her.
I am giving Cerebral Palsy: A Story: Finding the Calm After the Storm a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading memoirs or biographies on those who have been able overcome disabilities. I would love to read more about Ilana Estelle. She is such an inspirational and special person to learn from.
I received a copy of Cerebral Palsy: A Story: Finding the Calm After the Storm from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
