This was a book discussion read. One of Andrew Wyeth's most famous paintings in "Christina's World." Andrew spent some twenty years worth of summers painting at the Olsen house, where Christina and her brother lived. This story follows Christina's life. She was never diagnosed, but suffered from a muscular/nerve disease that crippled her hands, feet, and legs. Though her mobility was limited, she never let her disability get in the way of running the household or venturing outside, even if she had to crawl. This was a well written book about a subject that I didn't know much about and I found it very interesting, though some of the characters could be very frustrating. As real people are:-)
