About This Book
Jersey Hatch seemed to have it all together-he played sports, was
popular, had a great girlfriend, best friend, and supportive parents.
But when he emerges from a recuperative care center, all that is gone,
his legs and hands don't work right, his mouth says every word that pops
into his brain, and he has to write down his thoughts so that he
remembers even the most basic directions and details. Through it all,
one question haunts him: why did he try to kill himself?
