Tom Wilczewski, author of "An Abled Life: Challenging the Limits of Polio" has received high praise from "Blue Ink Review. "The author has done an excellent job of doing just that. His prose is intelligent, clear and detailed (his descriptions of his family's living quarters and the Gammontown section of Jersey paint a vivid picture). He eschews self-pity and offers a well-drawn cast of characters. Ultimately, he makes readers feel the crushing helplessness his family experienced as they faced tremendous challenges. This will be a cherished family record, as intended. It should also be appreciated by anyone facing long odds in life and those interested in revisiting an earlier time in America." An Abled Life is available from Amazon.
TOM WILCZEWSKI, well known Long Branch watercolorist will be at the Guild of Creative Art, Route 35, Shrewsbury, Sunday, October 28, 2018, 3-5 PM. He is having a book presentation and signing of his just published memoir: "An Abled Life", challenging the limits of polio.
