The book by Kevin Brooks
Just wiggle your toes.
Kevin drove home drunk after a party. Brendon died and Kevin never walked again. This is what came after. Written with Jeff DeAngelis.
The story
How one wrong choice changed everything.
After a night of excessive drinking, Kevin made the poor decision to drive home. Waking from the crash, he learned that he had a passenger with him and that his passenger had not survived, and that he himself was paralyzed from the chest down. What follows is a journey of guilt and self-redemption: his body is paralyzed, but his spirit is not, and unable to walk he uses his voice to stand up.
Just Wiggle Your Toes tells that story from the perspective of the lives around him. Through personal interviews we hear what it was like for Kevin, and for his family and friends, to deal with a crash that could happen to any one of us. It is written in plain, colloquial language, and it will have you laughing and crying with each turning page.
