Summary of Sarah Polley's Run Towards the Danger
Please This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book
#1 I had a dream that I was in a blue poufy dress with a white pinafore, and I was constantly being made fun of and treated like a child. I wanted to be a queen, but I didn’t want to be left alone or tested.
#2 I was diagnosed with scoliosis four years earlier during a routine insurance medical for the television series Road to Avonlea. My world began to curve nonsensically the previous year, and my own body curving alongside it gave things a logical symmetry.
#3 I had a 38-degree curvature in my thoracic spine, and I was told that it was genetic. I was relieved that it wouldn’t kill me, but I was also sad that I wouldn’t be able to exalt in the grief of others the way I had with my mother’s cancer.
#4 The first option for treating scoliosis was to wear a tight plastic brace, which wrapped around the torso, for sixteen hours a day. The more severe cases had to be operated on.

Sarah Polley's painful and so honest account of the difficulties of her adolescence and twenties --
all while she was a stage and TV star -- the truth behind the image.
Startling. complex, empathetic ... and so well written! Anne Tait, casting director & film producer
