From Crutches to Crushing It is the unforgettable account of a third-world orphan girl and polio survivor who gets taken to America. She is raised among 18 siblings on a farm in rural Montana, where she receives no special dispensations for being unable to walk. And yet, through music, she finds a way out. Patricia beats all odds to become the first university graduate in the Pacific Northwest with a degree in Accordion Performance, wins a World Championship, builds a six-figure music academy, and evolves into an in-demand business mentor, and motivational speaker. In this book, Patricia generously shares her hard-won wisdom, teachings, and her recipes for success - whether in life, music, or business - and reminds us all that we can 'Crush It' despite our crutches and that there is always a way from pain to power.
