Another Path to My Garden: My Life as a Quadriplegic

by Marilyn Noell

Overview

Marilyn Noell looks back over the past forty-three years of her life as a quadriplegic. Her struggles have been many – fear, depression, surgery, learning to use what "moving parts" remained after her diving accident when she was just nineteen. But perhaps her toughest challenge has been to be and be seen as a useful, active individual.
