About the Book Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio
Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio by Peg Kehret is a poignant memoir that recounts the author’s battle with polio at the age of twelve. Set in 1949, the book details Peg’s sudden onset of the disease, her time in isolation at the hospital, and her arduous journey through rehabilitation.
The narrative captures Peg’s physical and emotional struggles as she faces paralysis and the challenges of learning to walk again. Despite the severity of her condition, Peg’s resilience and determination shine through, supported by the friendships she forms with fellow patients and the unwavering support of her family. The memoir also highlights the humor and camaraderie that helped Peg and her roommates cope with their difficult circumstances.
Small Steps explores themes of courage, hope, and the power of human connection in overcoming adversity. It’s an inspiring story that offers a glimpse into the life of a young polio survivor and the strength it takes to reclaim one’s life after a debilitating illness.
