I am blown away. This is going to positively shift the perspectives
of so many people and I know it's already helping me dismantle my
own ableist ways. It's beautifully written, funny and such an
important call to action.

eye-opening look into the way people with disabilities are treated,
with the power of championing change and inclusion for all.
*Charli Howard, model, writer and activist*
Joyful, nuanced, important and wickedly funny. Lottie writes
beautifully about the complexities of disabled life and other
people's expectations of us. We all need more Lottie in the
world.

A smart, witty, refreshing take on disability . . . See Me Rolling
is a beautifully written (often funny) take on multiple aspects of
life as a disabled woman.

Lottie expresses the raw vulnerabilities, injustices and untold
joys of disability, as well as the bizarre everyday occurrences
that able-bodied people usually don't experience. An illuminating
memoir as well as a call for greater diversity and inclusion.
