What's Your Wheelchair? - Paperback

by Edison R. Guzman (Illustrator), Amy Alexander (Author)

A car accident at the age of twenty-one paralyzed Amy Alexander from the shoulders down, instantly ripping the carpet of her life out from under her.

Fiercely independent, Amy fought to find control in her new life, and she found it when she recognized her gift of choice. Despite what the accident had taken away, she recognized she could still choose what she wanted and how she wanted it. Over almost twenty years, Amy has parlayed her belief in life into becoming an inspirational writer to remind us of our gift of choice and our individual personal power when we consciously apply that gift to our lives. The stories within this book will inspire you to shed the wheelchair you're using to hold you back from achieving your dreams.
