{"product_id":"book-d9f8","title":"The Pretty One","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the disability rights advocate and creator of the #DisabledAndCute viral campaign, a thoughtful, inspiring, and charming collection of essays exploring what it means to be black and disabled in a mostly able-bodied white America. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeah Brown loves herself, but that hadn’t always been the case. Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But after years of introspection and reaching out to others in her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her perspective.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Pretty One\u003c\/i\u003e, Brown gives a contemporary and relatable voice to the disabled—so often portrayed as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called “the pretty one” by friends) to navigating romance; her deep affinity for all things pop culture—and her disappointment with the media’s distorted view of disability; and her declaration of self-love with the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBy “smashing stigmas, empowering her community, and celebrating herself” (\u003ci\u003eTeen Vogue\u003c\/i\u003e), Brown and \u003ci\u003eThe Pretty One \u003c\/i\u003eaims to expand the conversation about disability and inspire self-love for people of all backgrounds.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347175481648,"sku":"BDd9f8","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49347175514416,"sku":"10d9f8","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d9f8-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773690988","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d9f8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
