Francine Falk-Allen contracted polio at a young age and as a result lost opportunities many children normally have at only 3 years old. Growing up with what seemed like a devastating disability, Falk-Allen tried her best to fit in with the normal teens and young adults around her, and in this new memoir, she examines the ways in which she chose to live her life instead of dwell on her ailment. Now, as a grown woman, Falk-Allen looks back at her life and how she conquered her biggest fears instead of banishing them. Not a Poster Child is an honest portrayal of what it's like to struggle with a disease, told with immense humour and heart.
