Growing Up in a Brace is an authentic story about facing and living with a chronic disease. It is written by a daughter and mother whose diary-like glimpses on life with the disease and treatment expand over almost 20 years. Kaisa was born in Finland, in Northern Europe, in 1997. She was diagnosed with scoliosis, a curving spine, when she was a child. She got a thick plastic brace that she wore around the clock for many of her childhood and teenage years. It helped her spine grow straight. Her mother, Marja, did everything she could to make Kaisa's burden as light as possible, as any parent worried for their child. The book depicts their journey of nine years of treatment and years after, from both of their perspectives. Kaisa and Marja encountered several small and big issues beyond getting used to the physical presence of a brace. What clothes fit best with the brace? What exercise supports the back the best? Or what and how to talk about the brace to others and find motivation for years?

It helps newly diagnosed patients and their families adapt to their new reality and find motivation for years of treatment. Deeply personal and honest, the book speaks openly about frustrating encounters at the hospital and shares moments of joy along the way. It tackles practical topics like clothing and discusses deeper themes such as mental health. Finally, the authors look back at the treatment years from a distance - Kaisa is 25 ye
