Life with a Prosthesis and Learning to Accept Oneself

Laura is the author of “My Prosthetic Life,” a memoir about her experiences growing up with a prosthetic arm due to a birth defect caused by her mother taking Thalidomide for morning sickness during her pregnancy. She joins Beth to discuss all the ways in which living with a physical difference affected her life and how she eventually learned to accept and love herself exactly as she is.
