Summary

"The doctors told the little girl's parents, Bill and Virginia McTaggart, to put her away in an institution. They told Dianne's parents that their daughter was too much for them to handle. She was born with polio, her legs bent like a frog's, and she was born paralyzed from head to toe. The doctors never imagined that the little girl would grow up to earn a Master's degree and become a therapist herself, as well as a wife, a mother, a teacher, a performer, and a recording artist. In Somebody Told Me I Could Dianne McTaggart Wall shares the uplifting story of her fight for life and living through the healing power of love and faith. Throughout her life, she has been strengthened by others telling her that she could. Born at a time when there was no vaccine available, her message is clear to children and parents who are living with her through a time of pandemic with vaccines available: You can. This is her story of how she did. Her words can inspire anyone who's been told they can't. Her success shows people if you believe in yourself, you can succeed too"-- Provided by publisher.
