I love this book We Are All Welcome Here by Elizabeth Berg. I wasn't really sure of it at first because of the subject matter but I was enthralled eventually and absolutely captivated by the time I was finished. It's a story of a woman who contracts polio while pregnant but doesn't know until she is rushed to the hospital in distress. She gives birth while in an iron lung which would under normal circumstances spell death for the baby. She decided to raise the child and did so while in a wheel chair and on a respirator. She had help from Social Services but not much so she had to fudge a bit on her income. Nevertheless she manages to raise the child with help. The story is told through the eyes of the child. Loved the story.
