SUMMERVILLE, S.C. - s4story -- Author Ruth Grant-Bailey makes her literary debut with A Muddy Life. This candid and compelling memoir pulls back the curtain on more than twenty years of navigating life with cerebral palsy. Told in two voices that weave seamlessly between honesty, heartache, and humor, the book offers a rare look at disability from the inside out.

From medical appointments and mobility challenges to independence battles, family debates, and laugh-out-loud moments that only life with Mason could deliver, A Muddy Life captures the full spectrum of emotions that have shaped their journey. Ruth shares her perspective as a parent determined to give her son the most independent life possible. At the same time, Mason brings readers directly into his lived experience—shedding light on what he values, what frustrates him, and how he defines "normal" in a world not built for bodies like his.
