Navigating childhood cancer and subsequent paralysis due to her treatments initiated author and professor Rebekah Taussig, Ph.D into a world of uncertainty and pain very early. Too early. But with her intelligence and piercing inquiry into the human experience, Rebekah is so much more than her first book title suggests—Sitting Pretty. Rebekah is Sitting Unflinchingly, Sitting Indispensably, Sitting Luminously. (Ok yes, and she’s darn pretty as well.) Do your heart a favor and navigate over to her exquisitely tender ‘mini-memoirs’ on her IG page @sitting_pretty or her website for a collection of her published essays that explore what it means to live with disability.
She's quite a force. And her creative writing is also superb. I wish she were over here on Substack so we could get weekly essay from her... maybe someday. ;)
Thank you for spreading the word about Rebekah and her memoir. I look forward to reading her book!
