Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're skeptical about changing society's discriminatory treatment of people with dwarfism and other disabilities, Van Etten offers hope with these words: "Advocacy makes change possible when people call out what is wrong, care enough to stand up for what is right, commit to the cause for as long as it takes, and have confidence in God's power to change hearts." Van Etten repeatedly demonstrates the power of advocacy in this book. Titans of industry are now required to lower ATMs, gas pumps, and elevator buttons to be within reach of people previously ignored. Public transportation must be accessible. Cheering crowds applauding dwarf tossing contests are silenced. Many homeowners, school children, and volunteer leaders enjoy equal access, respect, and civility. Read this book and be inspired to advocate for the changes you-and others-need. It can be done. "This is a terrific book. When a righteous voice needs to be amplified, Angela rose to the challenge time and time again. Her seemingly endless supply of energy comes from her faith in God and her love of the underdog." ~ Bill Klein, Co-author of Life is Short and Co-Star of TLC's Little Couple." Be inspired and encouraged by Angela's determination to take on all challenges, and eventually overcome and master them with an ample dose of faith and humor." ~ Genevieve Cousminer, Esq., former Director of the Coalition for Independent Living Options, Inc." You will learn a lot about the challenges that dwarfs face in their everyday lives - and about the life and activism of this remarkable woman." ~ Dan Kennedy, Author of Little People: Learning to See the World Through My Daughter's Eyes." Angela Van Etten contributed in countless ways to the advancement of the dwarfism community, the disability community, and the broader community." ~ Gary Arnold, Little People of America Past President. "This book offers the reader a grand tour of local, state, and federal opportunities for advocacy. The only requirement is passion, dedication, a thick skin, patience, and a sense of humor." ~ Jim Kay, LPA Historian
