A new novel from Smink Works Books tells the story of one young woman’s life and her experiences dealing with severe Scoliosis.
The abnormal curvature of the spine known as Scoliosis can occur on a small scale, or it can occur on a painful, very frustrating and life-limiting large scale.
A new novel from Smink Works Books tells the story of one young woman’s life and her experience dealing with severe Scoliosis. Diagnosed while living in under-resourced Eastern Europe, she is encased in a plastic “bucket”, migrates to Australia and eventually has a titanium rod inserted in her back.
This quirky, revealing semi-autobiographical novel is peppered with author-invented quotes about life - dealing with Scoliosis has meant she's learnt some valuable lessons and become a stronger person - but she's not about to admit that out loud. After all, it might sound schmaltzy.
Smink Works Books publisher Suzanne Male says the novel is relevant to all severe-pain sufferers. “The story is a lesson in learning from your experiences. Kremena has learnt some valuable life lessons that some people never learn,” she says. “She’s successfully turned a physically life-limiting condition into life enhancement.”
