Doctor Rule reflects the years he has spent expanding himself and helping others. Crippled by Polio and seperated from those he loved as a small boy he sought acceptance and solace, first for himself and then for others. His realization that others were crippled propelled him forward in his study and research, giving care as he received it. Finally, he realized that we are all crippled and need acceptance and solace.

This not a sad trip through the twentieth century. This is a fun trip - a trip of challange and comfort. Take it with him and you will realize your needs and the needs of those around.

Dr. Rule gave me a kit of tools to deal with my crippled psyche thirty years ago and, now, I've added this map of life to that kit. It gets filled with joy as full as Colter was when wheezing away on a harmonica or tickling a piano with few or many at a party.

A dose of "Limping .." a day will not keep the doctor away but it will explain why he's there.

This is a book about courage, about overcoming the difficulties of being a handicapped person, and about building a life of making meaningful contributions to society.
