Polio Place

This page-turning, award-winning book is written for young adolescent readers. Peg Kehret presents her autobiography, written with fictional dialog, and recalls her first-hand experiences with polio--the treatment, frustration and pain that began in 1949 when she was 12 years old. This 10th Anniversary Edition contains an extended epilogue updating the author's challenges with post-polio syndrome and brings readers up-to-date on the lives of her fellow patients and friends at the Sheltering Arms Hospital.
