In 2009, Caro Llewellyn was living her best life, Director of the PEN World Voices Festival in New York, mixing with the global literati. Then one day, whilst jogging in Central Park, her legs went numb. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two days later. Diving into Glass tells the glittering before and the confronting after of that terrible time, but also her life growing up in Adelaide, detailing the impressive example of living with disability she was set by her father, and the powerful bond that they shared.
