A Book Sense Pick Just after her eleventh birthday, Susan Richards Shreve was sent to the sanitarium at Warm Springs, Georgia, the polio haven famously founded by FDR. During Shreve’s two-year stay, the Salk vaccine would be discovered, ensuring that she would be among the last Americans to have suffered childhood polio. Her account of her time there is vividly, endearingly, candidly evoked. At Warm Springs, Shreve found herself in a community of similarly afflicted children—and for the first time, one of the gang.
