Irregular People describes the unfinished sixty-year journey of persons who are disabled from the darkness of prejudice to the bright light of acceptance as equal members of society.

It also tells the stories of several irregular people whose personalities are both remarkable and unforgettable.

"This is a book about people. Some are irregular, some are not. Some are handicapped, some are not. But every one of them is important and has a place on the master blueprint.

This book is also about story telling. A story is a story, but the way it is told determines whether you listen, or read to the end, or give up halfway out of sheer boredom.

I am a story teller, and my view of life is slightly off centre, perhaps because unusual things happen to me. Or maybe the things that happen to me are ordinary, and I am off centre, making my perception of everything appear unusual. Then again, it could be that I am ordinary and the things that happen to me are ordinary, and it is only the story teller in me that makes these things seem extraordinary."

-Janet Fehr
