Summary:  "From the well-known CBC journalist comes a story of hardship, resilience and repeatedly learning the same lesson. Peter Kavanagh was just an infant when he was diagnosed with paralytic polio and suffered permanent paralysis in the lower part of his left leg. As a child, he endured painful medical procedures to even out the length of his legs, and experimental exercise techniques. He spent his youth in a leg brace and special footwear, isolating for a boy whose classmates ran freely in sneakers. His first lesson in walking was how to move while wearing such equipment. As he developed a successful career in broadcasting, Kavanagh underwent various surgeries and rehabilitation to give him more mobility. A memoir of a full life, combining medical history with a very personal story. Coping with one's pain, guilt and shame, and the anger that arises from being bullied. But this book is also a story of healing and rehabilitation, and of hard lessons, hard earned--about the courage to keep going and, if one way isn't working, the awareness and bravery to try something new. Over time, these decisions and lessons help form a sense of identity; as Kavanagh says, "Walking is the key to who I am." Peter Kavanagh worked for 25 years at the CBC in television and radio with programs such as The Journal, Morningside, The Sunday Edition and Ideas."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies.
