In this episode of The BrightWord Books Podcast, we welcome Linda Dezenski for her first appearance to discuss her powerful memoir, Persistence: Living an Authentic Life with a Disability. Through raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, Linda invites listeners into her world—one shaped by both the challenges and triumphs of living with Cerebral Palsy. Her reflections offer a deeply personal look at perseverance, acceptance, and the courage it takes to live authentically in a world that often fails to understand disability.More than just a story of overcoming obstacles, Persistence is a celebration of strength, humor, and self-discovery. With grace and insight, Linda reminds us that our worth is not defined by limitations but by the way we choose to embrace ourselves and others. Her journey is both inspiring and transformative—a reminder that authenticity and determination can turn adversity into purpose.https://www.amazon.com/Persistence-Living-Authentic-Life-Disability/dp/B0FMJ5QML2/ref=sr_1_4?crid=RLAW1XRJCXL1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lWRzBe4gg8zZUqPVAgIkzXzqLwyetO-J7c6Wsoxz2Mo3_iFV7DnZES-KQDCeTo3d2KqgFeScAaqyuZpHj3FyROkO2TSBlyhXsYLvdnNB8ALYNNfc_6BHe9Y_eL4W-0qBHrgoIOwJkl9JXpsh0WXrQYdE4M9a6HrJz5cEy4YMq0w-BbdGhgZWrYxkPZMXJbivWEKBRkSk0Auw5qhb_pp-5fZwaDUBr--56I1pDjyXPkY.ODPJPnWF7hvfVsx6zs2tNvHFDu-G9GfQGKc7mWFIsYk&dib_tag=se&keywords=PERSISTENCE&qid=1761150145&s=books&sprefix=persistence.%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C277&sr=1-4
