Steering Blind

Carefree and ready to take on the world, Steve Martell, a happy-go-lucky youngster, never considered that his life would be anything but idyllic, until the day he was thrown violently into a life-altering coma. After surviving, he finds himself emerging into a world with which he is quite unfamiliar. Suddenly faced with disabilities ranging from physical, to mental and emotional, he realized he had two choices: wheel around aimlessly or stand and deliver.

Using life stories that range from humorous to heartbreaking, including prank calls and taking control of his own physical therapy, Steve uses raw honesty and straight talk to portray a boy who is adorably flawed, hopelessly broken, and has learned to redirect his life on his own. He demonstrates what happens when an individual takes charge of his own destiny, ignoring professionals who tell him he will not only walk, but never think for himself again.

This is the book for people who have lost hope but want to know how to find it again. It is for those who have found life abruptly altered and need an extra boost to find their path again. It is for everyone who has ever lost faith in themselves, in their lives, and is knee deep in finding that faith in self again.
