The last book I (Michele) read was "Dwarf" by Tiffanie DiDonato. This is a true story of a girl born with a form of dwarfism. As a child Tiffanie stood at 3'8" and wasn't expected to grow any taller. She was unable to reach her own ears because her arms were so short. Today she is 4'10" because of radical bone lengthening surgeries. She had these surgeries so she would be able to function without help in the world. Tiffanie endured a series of painful surgeries and is determined to push the limits.
This is a very moving story of a girl who was told something was impossible and refused to accept it. This is sometimes difficult to read as they tell about the pain she endured, but I would recommend it!
