WINNER OF THE 2024 20/40 PUBLISHING PRIZE – Non Fiction. Tremor compellingly weaves of the author’s personal experience with our broader societal context where people with disabilities, often far more challenging than her own, try to adapt to the implicit expectations and judgements that surround them.

With empathy and flair, Voumard helps us understand that behind the convenient illusion of normality, individual lives chart atypical, often difficult, but ultimately inspiring paths.
