'This beautifully written memoir by Jenni Heckendorf reveals a woman with firm opinions, a warm sense of family and a keen sense of her own value. She has also lived with cerebral palsy her whole life. A must-read for anyone who has ever doubted the indomitability of the human spirit.' - Professor Donna Lee Brien, Central Queensland University 'Through the Years is about growing up, family life and relationships, school, facing challenges, work, and love and marriage. Jenni Heckendorf's finely written memoir reflects on a life lived with the effects of cerebral palsy and, in so doing, also reflects on the attitudes of our society to people living with disability.' - Sarah St Vincent Welch, writer and image-maker
