My Friends Wouldn't Let Me: A Story of Courage, Determination...and Love

My Friends Wouldn't Let Me: A Story of Courage, Determination...and Love
Author: John A. Broadwell

Published: 2019
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
Available for purchase: Amazon; Barnes & Noble; LifeRich
Genres: Fiction – Young Adult – Inspiration
Author's Note: This story, though totally fiction, was inspired by a gentleman I worked with, who lost the use of his legs in a high school era auto accident. He was very active, went wherever he wanted to, attended sporting events and even drove a motorcycle with a side car. When I asked him why he did not withdraw, be bitter about his injury and essentially give up, his reply was "My friends wouldn't let me."
