My Thirteenth Winter by Samantha Abeel
3.0
The author is gifted in writing, public speaking and creativity. Because of that she masked her LD issues until 7th grade. She has a learning disability that limits her in logical and process thinking. She can name numbers and math signs, but can't tell you how to do an operation. She can't easily look at her day or week and know if she has enough time to accomplish the tasks she needs/wants to do. Oh and she has depression and perfectionism.
It is a good book. It was fairly well written. Her poetry is beautiful. It was instructive. Because of my background in both gifted and special education, I found it really interesting, but because I'm in the trenches of helping fight for the right education for my own children, it gave me anxiety, so I didn't love it as much as I might have at another time.
