Summary
Courage to Walk is a family memoir filled with fear and hope a heartfelt story of medical intrigue laced with the magic of poetry and meditation. The author s accomplished son Jeremy, a young lawyer, has called to say he cannot move from his bed; he is paralyzed. Having already endured the loss of one son, Bob Waxler and his wife Linda are not willing to suffer another tragic blow and neither is Jeremy. Anxious but determined, they launch into a courageous journey, each in their own way, and battle formidable odds to make sure Jeremy returns to his friends and the courtrooms that he loves.
