Kofoworola Olaofe dissects herself, exposing the deep lacerations in her heart for the world to see. This moving story narrates a young womans contentment with life in the face of disability and her triumph over the debilitating attack of scoliosis. Excerpts: Scoliosis is a rare disease that belittles its victim not only physically but also psychologically. Pain percolated my spirit like a cancerous cell and continued to wreak havoc within me until it reached the depth of my soul. ... It installed itself in my body as a ruthless adversary and an unfailing companion. This monster tormented me day and night; it exposed me to humiliation and distraction until I almost went out of my mind. ... when a young woman says she doesnt care a hoot about peoples opinion of her appearance, it is either because she has gone out of her mind or that she is living in cloud cuckoo land. While a page brings smiles to your lips, the next wells up tears in your eyes. It is an intensely moving story, as humorous as it is touching. Kofoworola is a natural story teller Kehinde A. Ayoola PhD, Kofoworolas editor.
