Angels on my Shoulders and Muses on my Side

Harold Wilke was born without arms in 1914. Against all advice, his parents kept him and expected him to do everything his brothers did. He learned alternative ways―usually using his toes. In this book he reflects on his life theologically as well as on his roles as a public person and as a private individual. His denominational work is here, as well as his political work for the passage of the Americans with Disability Act, among many others.
