Upward Bound - Woody Brown (Book Club Discussion)

Some books entertain. Others change the way you see the world. Upward Bound falls into the second category.In this Cover to Cover episode, we're discussing one of the most eye-opening books we've read. This short but powerful memoir gave us a sobering glimpse into life with disability and challenged us to consider perspectives we simply hadn't experienced before.We also take time to address the controversy surrounding the book's authorship and the questions raised about facilitated communication. It's an important part of the conversation, and one we felt was worth discussing alongside the book itself.Despite the debate, we found this to be an enlightening read that sparked meaningful conversations about inclusion, communication, empathy, and the value of seeing the world through someone else's eyes.This is a book we'd both recommend—not because it has all the answers, but because it encourages thoughtful discussion and invites readers to broaden their understanding.Join us as we share our biggest takeaways, discuss the moments that stayed with us, and explore why books like this matter.Check out our GoodReads for more ratings and reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/191415688Find more spoiler-free book recommendations here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm29anN3WelsHsSaZaqDa7dKiBHIjdVMK#bookclubdiscussion #bookclubreads #bookclubpick #bookclubpodcast #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #bookclub #readwithjenna #bookreview
