"Owning It: Stories about Teens with Disabilities," edited by Donald R. Gallo, presents a compelling collection of short stories that highlight the diverse experiences of teenagers living with various disabilities. Each tale offers a unique perspective, showcasing the challenges and triumphs faced by young people as they navigate school, friendships, and self-acceptance.

Instead, the stories celebrate strength, individuality, and the importance of connection in the journey toward owning one’s story. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
