Her story has (not) defined her.

From where she sat, her perspective of the world was both quite ordinary and rivetingly extraordinary—from a paralyzing car accident in her teens to traveling overseas on a journey of self-reflection to becoming a mom. Throughout everything she experienced, she fervently believed in following her given path.

She wanted to trust its trajectory. She wanted to be sure.

Her story is not about a chair.

Her story is about her strengths and how they rose out of her instinctive vulnerabilities.

Her story is about her struggles and how they became her victories.

Her story is about being willing to hold it all, for herself and the whole of her world.

Everyone has a chair. That thing you are bound to or unwillingly defines you. An element that makes you different from the rest. One that you have little choice in the matter.

What’s YOUR chair?



About the Author

Her call to write a book was a quiet, yet constant voice that Ryan Rae Harbuck finally listened to. And after writing as much as she could between coaching swim practices and conducting toddler craft times, when i grow up i want TO BE A CHAIR was born.

A Colorado native, Ryan has always found solace in the mountain air and has always been up for an outdoor challenge—as far as her wheelchair wheels could take her, or beyond. She has been a teacher and a swim coach, but enjoys being Mom the most. She and her husband, Andrew live in Denver with their two mudslinging, car-vrooming young boys.

Ryan is available to share her stories in publications and book readings. To learn more, please visit her website at www.ryanraeharbuck.com.
