Editorial Review:

Product Description:
'One has to be a superb writer to lift the story about the wheelchair that Peter Weisman was confined in from his tenth year and waltz around with it so brilliantly. But that is what Weisman, who vowed that 'Peter's life must grow steadily and bravely upward,' has done. There are time when the power of Weisman's prose squeezes the heart like a sponge, but perhaps the best moments leave you laughing.'

-Phyllis Theroux, Washington Post



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great deal like real life...........
But much better written. You won't put this book down, I promise you. Mary Lou Weisman tells a heart-stopping tale of a family pulled into tragedy and that reaches out to touch--quite literally--the pulse of real life. It is hilarious, horrifying, gripping, enlightening, joyful. It is Love Story, ER, and Saturday Night Live rolled into one. You will fall in love with these people, as I did. YOu will learn something important about the meaning of love in the process.
