Was It Spectacular?
あらすじ・解説
Half a world away from home in 1976, 18-year old Anne B. Thomas awakens on the side of a two-lane road paralyzed from the chest down. Fast forward through a rigorous year of physical therapy to when her doctor gives her an ominous warning: “You will live a long time and be a burden on your family for the rest of your life unless you check yourself into a nursing home”.
Anne spends the rest of her life proving that doctor wrong.
This brutally honest memoir follows Anne’s journey as a young woman learning to navigate an inaccessible world to developing a fierce sense of self-worth to becoming a tireless advocate for others. An award-winning storyteller, Anne wrote this memoir to share her adventures, heartbreaks, and triumphs in a life well-lived - one that was spectacular.

"Anne Thomas’ story focuses on living life to the fullest through the intentional choice to create memorable life experiences." (Mary Nguyen, Director of CSULB Bob Murphy Access Center)
