Welcome to Andy’s Story
The Story So far
Life with polio isn’t something you “get over.” It’s a fight you learn to live with. Andy Hughes has been living with polio for as long as he can remember, and this book is the result of decades spent facing down a disease. More than the case of physical condition, it mirrors to how society sees disability. His story is raw, it’s real, and it’s a hell of a lot more than what you expect.
You might believe it’s a survival story, however, it’s about how you find ways to keep laughing, keep going, and stay human, even when the world insists on treating you differently. And if there’s one thing Andy has learned through it all, it’s this: if you’re alive, you’ve still got something to give.
What’s Inside the Book
Every page is filled with truth, courage, and insight.
- Raw personal stories of living with polio

Inside the Pages
You’ll read about what it’s like to be the kid who stands out because you can’t walk like everyone else. About the relationships that shape you, the places you go, and the daily grind of being disabled in a world that doesn’t always know how to handle you. But it’s not all doom and gloom, Andy tells his story with a kind of humor that makes you chuckle at the absurdity of it all. He doesn’t ask for your sympathy. What he does ask is for you to look at things differently and to see disability as part of life, not something to pity or hide away
What makes this book different? It’s honest in a way that you don’t get in most memoirs. It’s unpolished, it’s imperfect, and it’s packed with moments that will make you laugh and think. This book will leave you questioning what you know about disability, about strength, and about living in a body that doesn’t fit into the neat boxes society likes to create.
Why It Hits Hard
Polio wasn’t something Andy could escape. But that didn’t stop him from finding ways to live fully. He’s not looking for applause. He’s not looking for a hero’s welcome. What he’s done here is give you a seat at the table where real, uncomfortable, and powerful conversations about disability and survival happen. Forget the “inspirational” stories you’ve heard a thousand times. This one hits differently. It’s full of uncomfortable truths that’ll challenge how you think. It’s loud. It’s messy. And it’s got the kind of humor that’ll leave you gasping for air.
