LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Sept. 12, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author Eric R. Inouye went from high school athlete to being crippled and hurt. In August of 1985, he nearly lost his life when a drunk driver crashed a vehicle into Inouye's smaller mini-truck which rattled him and forced him to survive a coma of several weeks. How did he survive and what did he learn from his crisis? Find out as Xlibris releases his new book Small Steps, Long Journey.
Small Steps, Long Journey follows the author's struggle to survive a nine-week coma and overcome the dependency of others. It reveals the true story behind his crisis, and his tenacity to overcome the obstacles he faced on the way to recovery. In many ways, his recovery was more problematic because he saw his world turn into a battlefield that tested his spirit to survive. This book will take readers on a voyage into the unknown disabled community, where the author candidly expresses his emotions. With its honest and dramatic narrative, Small Steps, Long Journey compels you to open your eyes and see the disabled in a different light.
