Can I focus on my work while my tendons are screaming?” I broke my left leg and tore my medial ligaments, leading to surgery, months of recovery, and pain that has shaped every single day for the last four years. It’s still unfathomable for me that something so mundane - putting away clean dishes - ended with a fall that permanently limited my physical abilities. If you’re someone who also regularly faces pain, I hope you’ll find these books about characters with chronic pain just as enlightening and moving.Īll it took for my life to change forever was one stumble.

But sometimes, it’s incredibly powerful to read about a character with challenges that reflect your own. Many book lovers appreciate reading as a way to escape the problems of their everyday lives and experience something wildly different. ![]()
