Chronic Pain lessons

img_5965My years with chronic pain gave me access to understanding the challenges it presents. As a means of processing what I learned, I wrote and published my memoir, “Silent Courage”.

I have just published my first children’s book, “Wheelie: the Wheelchair in Search of Adventure”.

It is joyous to use story as a means of sharing what I knew to be true about mobility challenged children, of which I count myself a member.

I invite you to take a look at  Wheelie and my new website, sailerseries.com. 

I would love to hear how you might be using your chronic pain experience to help make the journeying softer and gentler for those who follow.

Wheelie is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

About Mary Byrne Eigel

Before writing children’s books, Mary spent many years teaching in classrooms and creating art in her studio. She was born with bi-lateral hip dysplasia, a painful condition that causes normal activities, like walking, to be challenging. As a child, when Mary had to trek long distances, she often wished she had a wheelchair. For her, a wheelchair offered pain-free opportunities, not limitations. Mary grew up in Chicago, which is the lakefront inspiration for the town of Sail. She lives in Missouri with her husband and two dogs, Beaux and Trey.
