Kissability

“I feel my disability walks ten feet in front of me, which is good and bad, depending on the person who is walking the other way.”

“I wonder if I should even be apologizing to anyone I’ve hurt in my past. After all, I can’t help my diagnosis. I can’t help the fact that I do these things.”

“If I could jump, then I’d probably jump up and down on the couch like 

Tom Cruise did on OPRAH. I’m so in love now!”

These are just a few of the fascinating responses that Katherine Duke received when she asked her fellow disabled people about their love lives. In KISSABILITY, Katherine and forty other individuals from around the world open up about their bodies, minds, and hearts. Their words interweave to create a book about differences and common bonds, about inner selves and outward appearances, about change and acceptance—and about the many ways that people need and connect with one another.
