The Worldwide Church of the Handicapped Marie Williams

Marie Sheppard Williams is delightfully politically incorrect. She takes us inside sheltered workshops, hospitals, funeral parlors, assorted agencies staffed by social workers, and to a United Way picnic attended by dwarfs. Her characters are unique and unforgettable. This is a disarming, disturbing book. -Maxine Kumin, author of Women, Animals, & Vegetables, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. "Worldwide Church is an absolute joy. I have been reading it all day and made a fool of myself at Starbucks because I was laughing so hard that tears ran down my face, and then I started to cry ." -Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird, and Traveling Mercies "It's a wonderful book!." -Bill Holm, Minnesota Author of The Heart Can Be Filled Anywhere on Earth; and Minnesota Book Award Winner
