The story follows the life of a young woman named Rachel Steele, who is born with a physical disability that leaves her with a limp. Despite her handicap, Rachel is determined to live a full and meaningful life. She is a talented artist and finds solace in painting, which helps her to express herself and cope with the challenges she faces.As Rachel grows older, she falls in love with a man named Dr. Philip King, who is also a physician. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Philip is engaged to another woman. Rachel must navigate her feelings for Philip while also dealing with the societal pressures and prejudices that come with being handicapped.Throughout the novel, Harland explores themes of love, perseverance, and the power of art. She also sheds light on the struggles faced by people with disabilities in the late 19th century, including the lack of access to education and employment opportunities.Handicapped is a poignant and inspiring story that celebrates the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
