Beyond Dancing: A Veteran's Struggle, a Woman's Triumph

Rating:
Summary: Beyond Strength, Beyond Honor, Beyond Integrity
Review: Anita Bloom Ornoff had extreme inner strength, massive Honor to herself, her Family and her Country, and Integrity beyond any normal human being. I have no doubt in my mind that to this very day she is still the same! Not only is she a woman that I admire immensely, but because of her, she enabled if not helped to create many of the programs/services that are available to the Paralized Veterans of America of today. Being of woman that was a member of the last class of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) back in Fort McClellan, Alabama under the direction of General Mary Clark I can appreciate if not totally see myself in the position that she was in back at Fort Oglethorpe and further at the barracks at Stephen F. Austin College and still further at the VA Hospital. It was a hard time for women back then to be accepted, so I can share her feelings of anger, confusion and disbelief when it came to why people could not understand that a woman would want to serve her Country. I thank you Ma'am for a wonderful story, a book that was extremely hard to put down and for sharing your heart and soul with me. God Bless You! Charlene Ann Heier

Summary: Beyond Dancing.
Review: Anita Bloom Ornoff writes of her triumph over her disability, and her struggles to achieve an independent lifestyle. She does so with candor and style.
This lady never gave up and obtained her due, where many would have dispared of ever being successful. Her book is touching, funny, serious and enlightening.
She is to be applauded for her work, her life and the ablility to put onto paper the steps that led to her personal success.
