Love was my Fortune is more than a story of triumph over adversity. It is a graphic account of a woman's struggle in spite of severe physical disability to prove that she was not a handicapped person but a normal person with a severe handicap. Jenny Waller was born a spastic in the Westmorland village of Burneside, unable to control the use of her arms and legs, but determined to earn her own living and achieve a life of independence. Her battle against bureaucracy, her persistence in finding training and work, her courtship and marriage with a man severely disabled with arthritis, the ecstacy and joy in giving birth to a son and daughter, and coping with the loneliness and responsibilities of widowhood, are described with feeling and honesty. It is a story of courage and determination, of love and devotion, which alone enabled her to triumph over her physical disability and disappointments. Her literary talents have twice won her Poetry prizes in the Spastics Literary Competition, and this 'story should bring hope and encouragement to all physically disabled people.?
