Description: "End over end the car tumbled down the steep ravine, coming to an abrupt and tumultuous stop. Dave peered down to his body sprawledacross the front seat. It appeared undamaged, but at the same time seemedeerily as if it was not his. Strangely, every attempt to move arms or legsproved futile. Doctors soon confirmed what already seemed obvious, a brokenneck and spinal cord damage. Labeled a Quadriplegic and told he would neverwalk again, a long and grueling rehabilitation program ensued. The journeywould lead to the realization that finding happiness is appreciating what you have rather than what you lack, and that the most important things in life occur from the neck up, not from the shoulders down. Learning to be truly happyand content doesn't require a life changing injury, it only requires gratitude for all you have, and empathy to know you are not alone with your pain."--Back cover.
