Description

Backbone: The Story and Strength of a Girl with Spina Bifida

Is there really a normal if everyone is different?

This is not a story of being “inspiring.” It’s a story of being human.

Nilam Himani grew up learning that her body was different, but her dreams never were. Growing up with spina bifida meant navigating hospitals, surgeries, and a world not built with her in mind.

Through childhood memories, painful truths, loss, and beautiful moments of joy, this book takes you through the roller coaster of life through the lens of growing up with a disability. Backbone is a testament to resilience, self-worth, internal battles, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going.
