"The true devastation of spinal cord injury and paralysis on patients and their families remains truly underappreciated by the general public and -- outside of the affected specialities -- most of the medical establishment. Will Your Way Back by James Osborne vividly describes the amazing power of the human mind to bounce back from an overwhelming injury. It also shows medical professionals how much more there is to learn and do to overcome paralysis, from which over three million US citizens suffer." -- Jens R.
