About
Daughter, Adventurer, Friend, Corporate Girlie, Patient Advocate, Public Speaker, Artist, Traveler, “Fusioneer”, Author… Caroline Bell is a scoliosis warrior. She was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15, wore a back brace, and had spinal fusion surgery at age 17. Like so many others before her, she had to learn every scoliosis lesson alone “the hard way,” never meeting anybody else with her condition.
After years of being mad at her painful back, she decided to learn how to work with it, not against it. This led to an intense journey of discovery, self-acceptance, and connection with the vibrant scoliosis community. It inspired her to create a resource that would resonate with readers, provide the answers they need in plain language, and support them through their own journey. She hopes her book will increase awareness, launch discussions, boost research, and normalize scoliosis.
She loves hearing from fellow book enthusiasts and scoliosis warriors! Whether you have a question, are looking for support, or just want to share your scoli journey, feel free to reach out to our friendly team at any time.

Tangled in the Curves is not an autobiography—it’s the shared story of millions living with scoliosis.
A scoliosis diagnosis can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, bracing, facing surgery, or navigating adulthood with a curved spine, you are not alone.

Written in plain language by someone who truly understands the journey, it highlights the physical and emotional challenges of this lifelong invisible condition while celebrating resilience, strength, and community.
