Review by Marty Kinrose: Cerebral Palsy – A Story; Finding the Calm After the Storm, by Ilana Estelle
Most of us have had certain books in our lifetime that we have returned to over and over again. Unquestionably, Cerebral Palsy – A Story is destined to become one of those books. Written by Ilana Estelle in a style that is comprehensive and, unlike many books about self-awareness discovery and wisdom that typically include flowery wording and no shortage of fluff, this book, refreshingly, is straight-forward and tells it like it is.
Cerebral Palsy – A Story, truly has something for everyone. Though it is about Ilana’s challenges with her cerebral palsy and autism, it delves far deeper than that into her relationships, life lessons and struggles that ALL of us have experienced at varying degrees. Like your favorite soul mate, lifelong friend, or political favorite who will never quite make it to the top, this insightful book is, simply, good through and through. Without being preachy, Ilana takes us on her life’s journey, leaving no stone unturned, and includes perfectly placed, potent quotes along the way from notable personalities such as the Dalai Lama, John Lennon, Winston Churchill, Rumi and more.
This is a book you’ll want to loan out to people you care about. May the laws of attraction work their magic, and may this important and inspiring book help bring a greater sense of clarity and balance to all those who read the book.
