n Persistence: Living an Authentic Life with a Disability , author and advocate Linda Dezenski invites readers into a world that is often overlooked—but never without strength, humor, and grace. Born with Cerebral Palsy and navigating life with crutches, Linda has spent decades challenging assumptions, confronting barriers, and embracing the fullness of who she is. Her memoir, published by Atticus Publishing, is not just a personal story—it’s a call to rethink what it means to live with a disability. “Persistence was 38 years in the making,” Dezenski shares. “This book is my legacy.” And it shows. With raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, she recounts the everyday realities of inaccessible spaces, social misconceptions, and the emotional toll of being underestimated. But Persistence is not a story of tragedy—it’s a story of triumph. Linda’s voice is clear and compassionate, reminding readers that disability is simply part of the human experience.
