Short description

Susan Wheeler brings a voice to the unspoken words shared by many abuse survivors who experience their life with physical disabilities. Her portrayal of resilience redefines the term survival of the fittest. This is an inspiring and thought-provoking read.

Extended description

More often than not, support programs aimed to prevent abuse unintentionally exclude individuals with physical disabilities. The likelihood that children and women with physical disabilities will experience abusive encounters is seven times greater than those without disabilities. This heightened level of vulnerability is a reality that is compounded by complex issues of self-esteem and environmental inaccessibility’s. In addition to portraying one woman’s experience, Shadows on the Ceiling, is a groundbreaking resource that brings the issue of access to the forefront for women shelters and other support program facilities.
