Contents Description:

The author draws on extensive archival research as well as interviews conducted over a five-year period with Texas polio survivors and their families. The picture that emerges is a detailed and intensely human account, not only of the epidemics that swept Texas during the polio years, but also of the continuing aftermath of the disease for those who are still living with its effects. - from the back cover
