My Left Foot is Christy Brown's inspirational story of his early life, his battle against the restraints of cerebral palsy and his determination to learn to read, write, and paint, all with the aid of his left foot. This autobiography, published in 1954 when he was twenty-two, recounts his early life in Dublin - the poverty of his childhood, the support of his mother and his hope for a better life.
