Trish Harris’ ‘house’ has arthritis written all over it, but her true self has expanded beyond its walls to embrace the universe.  In The Walking-Stick Tree Trish has given us a beautifully written memoir that will bring hope to those living with disability, and encouragement to everyone.
– Joy Cowley

Finding a quality New Zealand book on the experience of disability is like finding water in a desert: eagerly consumed and leaving me wanting more.
– Robyn Hunt
