Driving Forwards

A book that’ll change your perspective on life. You’ll not be able to put it down. * Fearne Cotton *What I love about this book is it’s not about “overcoming disability”. Instead, it’s about learning how to live a good disabled life - one full of friends, love, opportunities and fun. Disabled joy is so rarely seen, but Sophie Morgan has it in spades. * Lucy Webster, Political journalist, writer and disability advocate *Wrenchingly honest…inspirational, eye-opening and deeply moving * Mail on Sunday *A searing read * The Guardian *
