Shine Social Book Group are very pleased to announce that for Spina Bifida Awareness Week we will be joined by author Dawn Fallon, author of Globetrotting with Disabled Don.
Dawn's husband Don is a member of Shine and she has written a book about their journeys abroad.
Here's a little more about the book...
Driving on the wrong side of the road, an accident up the Alps, Force 10 storms, seasickness, being robbed of 200 euros, a brush with bats, blocked toilets and other mishaps...travelling with (or without) Don had its moments!
Dawn thought her journeys abroad were over when she married Don. He flatly refused to fly. Surprisingly, plenty of opportunities to travel the globe by car, ferry, and cruise ship presented themselves.
Venturing to France with Don, who has spina bifida, family friend Geoff, who’d had a stroke, and four-year-old Tim, as well as 89-year-old Harold, certainly added an extra perspective.
Written with warmth and humour, this ten-part memoir spans over thirty years and touches on some of the challenges that wheelchair users and disabled people face, as well as Dawn’s role as a carer.
Dawn has discovered that travelling with a disability is usually difficult, sometimes scary, and often funny but it’s always an achievement.
This book can be read in paper back or Kindle and keep your eyes peeled for our social media updates that will let you know when the book will be reduced in price on Kindle in September and October.
We will be meeting on Zoom on Wednesday 16th October at 7pm.
Our group is very relaxed and friendly and there is no pressure to have read the whole book.
