An illustration of Kerry as a child using underarm crutches and as an adult using walking poles on an autumn path.

A new collection on Wiley’s Walk brings together six essays written from different points in that experience. They consider spasticity, footwear and adaptation, the limits of a clinical baseline, secondary conditions, and the difficulty of finding adult care that understands a lifelong disability.

Each essay includes a new author’s note about why the piece is being revisited.
