Somebody Told Me I Could: A Polio Survivor Who's In It For The Long Haul

by Dianne McTaggart Wall

Overview

A beautiful and essential book about how to help and be helped by people. And how to know when you see God. Miracles happen at times and places we do not choose.

In Somebody Told Me I Could Dianne McTaggart Wall shares the uplifting story of her fight for life and living through the healing power of love and faith. She was born with polio, her legs bent like a frog's, and she was born paralyzed from head to toe. The doctors told her parents to put her away in an institution. The doctors never imagined that the little girl would grow up to become a therapist herself, as well as a wife, a mother, a teacher, a performer, and a recording artist. 

Throughout her life, she has been strengthened by others telling her that she could. Born before the polio vaccine was available, her message is clear to children and parents who are living with her now though a similar pandemic with vaccines available: You can. This is her story of how she did.

• The story says try your way anyway.
• It's a way that fits anyone who has ever been told that they don't have what it takes so don't even try.
• A story that begins when no vaccines were available to parents and children and Polio was terrifying for many, and continues through today when vaccines are available to parents and children against COVID and it's the vaccines that are terrifying for some.

Born with Polio and now with Post-Polio Syndrome her daily companion, this is the story of Somebody Who Says You Can.
