Description: A Different Life by Quinn Bradlee, Jeff Himmelman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Bradlee offers this frank, funny, inspiring memoir of growing up with developmental and learning disabilities as well as his famously accomplished parents--a "Washington Post" editor and bestselling author. Illustrations throughout. Publisher Description Ten percent of the population is affected by a learning disability, but few of us understand what being learning disabled (LD) is really like. When he was fourteen, Bradlee was diagnosed with Velo-Cardio-Facial-Syndrome (VCFS), a wide-spread, little-understood disorder that is expressed through a wide range of physical ailments and learning disabilities. In this funny, moving, and often irreverent book, Bradlee tells his own inspirational story of growing up as an LD kid, and of doing so as the child of larger-than-life, formidably accomplished parents: long-time Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee and bestselling author Sally Quinn. From his difficulties reading social cues, to his cringe-worthy loss of sexual innocence, Bradlee describes the challenges and joys of living a different life" with disarming candour and humour. By the end of A Different Life he will have become, if not your best friend, one of your favourite people.
