About this ebook
With acerbic wit and a hilarious voice, Shane Burcaw's Laughing at My Nightmare describes the challenges he faces as a twenty-one-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy. From awkward handshakes to having a girlfriend and everything in between, Shane handles his situation with humor and a "you-only-live-once" perspective on life. While he does talk about everyday issues that are relatable to teens, he also offers an eye-opening perspective on what it is like to have a life threatening disease.

Shane looks at life how everyone should see it. The laughter, humor, wit and smiles created by this book give me a new way to look at life....a new way to view my "bad days"....and a wonderfully comforting hope of a brighter day to come once this current portion of my life is behind me. Thank you, Shane. You have inspired me to hold on......

This is a great book, Shane does an amazing job telling his story. Honestly this is the first book I've wanted to finish since being in high school 10 years ago.
