"As a quadriplegic, with no family support or place to live, I had to live in the hospital/nursing home. My goal no matter what therapists told me was to get around in a manual chair and to live independently.
"My treatment got so bad that all alone I took a plane from Colorado to Tennessee with only two backpacks to reach the spinal cord center. There they continued my therapy, took care of my wounds, and even taught me to drive.
"I wrote this book not to just tell people my story, but to show people who have given up, lost hope, or don't think they can make it another day to not give up, life is full of obstacles. That's what makes it interesting. Though I've learned as long as I kept moving forward, even if it was baby steps, I was doing well. Even when sometimes I took a few steps back or fell down, I learned with God's help to get back up and keep moving. I hope the people who read this will find the determination in themselves and not give up."
Jenny Maher now lives in Richmond, Virginia, where she has bought a house and has two cats Pouncy and Sly to love and keep her entertained. She plans to continue writing and the next book she is working on is a murder mystery.
