The Running Dream

The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen

Summary: Jess is on her way back from a track meet when her bus is involved in a traffic accident and she looses one of her legs...and one of her teammates.  This is the story of how she survives - physically and mentally.

Thoughts: Really enjoyed this book.  I'm not a runner.  At all.  So, while I didn't completely understand how she felt about running, I could relate in other contexts.  This book was totally accessible.  It has a really sweet ending and will make you look at "disabled" people in a whole new light.
