White grew up in a small New England town in the heart of the Green Mountains. Diagnosed at just twelve with a chronic, progressive disease, she has struggled over the years to find acceptance and strength. In April 2011, L. White was moved by a friend to share her experience with muscular dystrophy. She has spent the past two years compiling her most embarrassing, emotional, and personal stories about living with this disease into one book. In writing this book, she realized it was much easier to face her challenges on the day-to-day than to relive them through writing one right after the other. Reliving these experiences often made her depressed, so Ms. White took several long breaks from the book. Still, since she first committed to sharing her experiences, she has been motivated to finish in hopes that her story would help others experiencing similar challenges.
L. White is now twenty-eight years old and lives in New Mexico. She has her masters degree in public administration and is working at a local nonprofit. It is her dream to work in a position involved in health policy. She continues to attend meditation classes and support groups. She plans to donate a portion of all proceeds from this book to organizations that conduct research and support individuals with muscle disorders.
