Description
When Tave wakes up alone in the hospital, she barely remembers the car wreck. Far from home, dazed, and despondent, she struggles to face the challenges of her new paralysis--all while worrying about her partner Les, also severely injured in the accident, but now home with her homophobic parents who refuse to allow contact.
In rehab, Tave relearns life skills and comes to recognize that her future will be completely different than she'd imagined. Where will she live? How will she find the care she needs? Can her friends rise to the occasion? Or will she be forced to move back in with her mother, putting up with endless talk of faith healers? Her one beacon of hope is Beth, her physical therapist. But Beth's relationship problems with her own girlfriend push her toward overinvolvement--and risk damaging both her career and Tave's recovery. A story of courage, resilience, and love, Unswerving challenges readers' preconceived notions of disability, of limitations, and of the inevitability of fate.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
