Interweaves the private story of a marriage coming apart with readings of John Milton's poetry and prose. Connected essays chart the chaos of loss and the discovery of how a writer can inhabit our emotional as well as our intellectual selves.

A critical study of personal narrative by women with disabilities, this book examines how contemporary writers use life writing to challenge cultural stereotypes about disability, gender, embodiment, and identity. It also suggests that atypical life stories can redefine the relation between embodiment and identity generally.
