What’s Done Cannot Be Undone: A Memoir of a Life off Balance
ISBN-13: 9780008557300 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 256 str.
This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad. Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions – and inaction – every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way. This complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir delves into the reality that, for every action there is an equal, opposite reaction, and that changing the world single-handedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics.
