Synopsis

“My disability doesn’t define me, but I wouldn’t be who I am without it.”

Amy was born with cerebral palsy and grew up with many medical appointments and ER visits. She has faced many challenges with everyday activities and walked with a limp her entire life. Despite these difficulties, she has chosen to live with joy and perseverance.

Why Do You Walk That Way? tells Amy’s story in her own words—a story rooted in hope. She relates the struggles she faced as a child and how her support system and optimistic mindset helped her push forward and live life to the fullest. She became an elementary school teacher, a stay-at-home mom to two girls, and a writer.

Discover how Amy’s family, faith, and mindset helped her grow through her challenges, become strong in her identity, and find purpose in every aspect of her life. Amy’s answer to the question “Why do you walk that way?” is beautifully simple: “Because I was meant to.” Whether you have a disability or have a disabled family member, she hopes that this book can encourage you. Whatever journey you’re facing, you’re not alone.

• Individuals with disabilities
• Parents/grandparents
• Teachers
• Youth leaders
