Have you ever had the day go completely wrong? My friend, Mark, did and this is his comeback story. It will give you insight into the life of a person with a spinal cord injury and give you the courage to live the life you've been given. Through his story, you learn a lot about relating to people like him. Mark is an advocate for people with disability and nothing stops him. This book is a very inspiring piece and I'm glad to have been one of the many people to read it.
