- Synopsis
- Marie A. Lacerra was born with severe Cerebral Palsy before the days of "accessibility," "normalization," and laws protecting the rights of people with disabilities. However, despite a world which was not ready for her, Marie was blessed with family and friends who were ahead of their time and not afraid to show the world who Marie was. Finally released from the prison of unintelligible speech by modern technology, Marie is now able to tell her stories --stories much like the ones we tell everyday: filled with love and laughter, tears and loss, hope and courage. With the help of a special "word hunting" computer, and a deep desire to communicate, her inspirational stories reveal the power of the human spirit and paint a vivid picture of the prejudice and difficulties a person with Cerebral Palsy must face.
