Along with a beautiful selection of her artwork, it is an insight into what it was like to grow up with a learning disability at a time when very little was known about dyslexia. P. Buckley Moss describes how she compensated for her dyslexia through her art. Now that she has largely overcome her problems, she helps others to overcome their disabilities. Ms. Moss has become a role model to the learning impaired & is a frequent speaker to special education & handicapped classes. Her story tells of her childhood in post-depression New York, one of three children born to Irish & Sicilian parents. In humorous & touching anecdotes, she tells of her struggle through school & the discovery of her artistic talent. Over 50 illustrations of her art follow her story through marriage, motherhood (she has six children) & the origins & development of her career as an artist. Hers is a heartwarming American success story which delights through her dedication to helping others by using her talents & her life as an example & inspiration to others.
