During Shreve’s two-year stay, the Salk vaccine would be discovered, ensuring that she would be among the last Americans to have suffered childhood polio. Her account of her time there is vividly, endearingly, candidly evoked. At Warm Springs, Shreve found herself in a community of similarly afflicted children—and for the first time, one of the gang. Away from her fiercely protective mother, she became a feisty troublemaker and an outspoken ringleader. In this spirited memoir, Shreve recaptures the joy and agony of awakening to one’s potential.
