About This Blog
A week after her birth in 1992, Dan Kennedy's firstborn daughter, Rebecca, was diagnosed with achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism. Reassured by doctors that Becky would have normal intelligence and a normal life span, Dan and his wife, Barbara, quickly adjusted to the reality of her condition. Not so easy was grasping people's attitudes toward those with physical differences. This book tells Rebecca's story.
Author Dan Kennedy is an award-winning journalist, an assistant professor of journalism at Northeastern University and a media critic at MediaNation. He may be e-mailed here.
