Hi, I'm new to the group. I was weondering if someone could help me out - I read a book at least 10 years ago and I don't know when it was written... A guy in Spokane with a promising athletic scholarship - goes on a ride with a friend - they have an accident and he ends up paralyzed - goes through the mill with social services... anyone know what I'm talking about?

I am from Spokane and usually keep up with books or movies that I know have a Spokane link. This one does not ring a bell. I will keep an eye out for it.

It sounds to me real close to David Edding's The Losers, one of his non-fantasy books, and my favourite of what I've read of his. I'm not sure it was Spokane, but somewhere in the Pacific northwest. Hope it helps!

Oh My God! That's it! I thought his name stared with an e, and I kept thinking Eggers, but I knew it wasn't that. Thank you so much!

The Losers for the link.
