If You Can't Walk, Try Flying - A True Story

This book could have been a heart-wrenching story about how it feels to live with a genetic neuromuscular disorder-it isn't.

It might have been a deeply moving story about growing up with an abusive father and a self-sacrificing mother who devoted her life to her family. Still, it isn't.

In this heartwarming, intimate and completely honest memoir, Marinela Drop shares with her readers the most intimate thoughts, the most significant experiences and the most challenging moments of childhood, youth and early adulthood. It is the story of a woman deeply in love with life and all it has to offer.

This book is a gift for all those who feel hopeless, helpless and lonely. It was written to be the reader's companion, friend and source of support. And even if tears are shed-whether from sorrow or laughter-by the end, you'll find yourself smiling, if not growing wings and learning to fly.
