Rich and Rewarding: An Autobiography

Bill Blackwood was born with cerebral palsy years before it was understood in New Zealand. Unable to write, he was taught to use a typwriter. He completed School Certificate and worked in a printing office. In 1948, inspired by Dr Earl Carlson, a world authority on cerebral palsy, he resumed his education and completed a university degree. He marries and worked mostly as a librarian, notably at Massey University. Bill's story of a rich and rewarding life offers a message of hope and encouragement, not only for those with physical disabilities, but also for those facing other difficulties and challenges in their lives.
