Geri Jewell

A great inside look at the life of Geri Jewell before she became an entertainer. From her difficult birth to her years in therapy and special education, Jewell shares the challenges of having cerebral palsy and her attempts to find a place where she belonged. Jewell's courage, cockiness, and constant belief in possibilities illuminates the similarities we all share despite whatever disabilities we might or might not be born with.

This book was very inspirational. Geri went through many difficult challenges throughout her life, and she never let it weigh her down. She had a dream and went after it not matter what people said. She also never let her CP stop her from following her dream. She shares her life story from her birth to her present and how she ended up where she is now. SHe is a remarkable person and this book shows that. I think that everyone should read this story.

This book was truly amazing and inspirational. This story is about a woman with Cerebral Palsy who overcomes all of her obstacles and does things such as acts on several TV shows and is also a comedian. She takes things such as her struggles and her disabilities and turns them into comedy skits to help people realize that it is okay to laugh at yourself. I would recommend this book to EVERYONE! It is great!!

This book was very inspirational and very heart warming. Even though at sometimes this book made you feel uncomfortable, it opened your eyes a lot. I learned about cerebral palsy and how people act with this disease, how they are treated, and also how they feel when other people treat them differently. This book is warming and you get a lot out of this book, and you become a different person after reading this.
