At the age of twelve Cheryl Koenigs son Jonathan was involved in a horrific car accident. When he did miraculously pull through, doctors predicted that he would most likely never walk, talk or even eat again. PAPER CRANES tells the story of Jonathans extraordinary courage and the Koenig familys unceasing drive to help him defy the ominous predictions. Set against the backdrop of Cheryls heartfelt grief, denial and anger, the book outlines their desperate search for knowledge in the area of recovery from traumatic brain injury, and their legal struggles to find justice for their son. Now, ten years since his horrific accident, Jonathan can walk well, run and is learning to drive. He can snow ski, swim laps, play tennis and astounds many with his piano playing skills. All this as well as working five days a week in three part-time jobs! This inspirational and uplifting story demonstrates that with the right attitude any challenge can be faced and conquered.
