Boston Book Festival Honorable Mention - Autobiography/Memoir What happens to a promising athlete when their life turns upside down and they land in a wheelchair? Who are you when your body no longer seems like your own? Jack Trottier’s The Little Things: A Memoir of Paralysis, Motivation, and Pursuing a Meaningful Life takes us on a journey from the catastrophic accident that shattered his C6 vertebrae through the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that followed as he fought to redefine his life on his own terms. Jack shares the motivation that sustained him and the lessons he learned along the way with writing that is honest, beautiful, and even humorous. The Little Things encourages us to look beyond the chair and see the person sitting there. Just like you, they have a story to tell.
