In less than a decade, Steven Fletcher's remarkable courage and determination have taken him from the scene of a horrific collision with a moose to the Canadian Parliament, the world's first C4 quadriplegic to win a seat in a national legislature. Along the way, he has changed the way governments, universities and insurance companies, among others, deal with the critically injured, and become a beacon of hope and inspiration for disabled people around the world.
From long-serving member of parliament and current MLA Bill Blaikie:
"Potential readers of other political persuasions would do well to not be bothered by the politics ... They should enjoy the book for what it is, a well told story of how a remarkable young man came to terms with a horrible accident, and went on to smash limited expectation after limited expectation, not to mention a few political egos into the bargain."
