So Far, So Good!: The Saga of a Broken Neck, and the Good Life that Can Follow

Synopsis

The candid and inspiring memoir of one man&’s rewarding life spent in a chair—a story of family, spinal injury, and choosing happiness. Lee Goldstein was fourteen years old when an innocent day at the beach ended in a life-altering accident. Yet even in the midst of that fateful tragedy, Lee finds reasons to be grateful—after all, he was rescued from drowning by a famous singer and hobnobbed with celebrities in the hospital. Lee would spend the rest of his life as a quadriplegic, but thanks to the support of his loving family and his own unflagging determination, he lives a long and beautiful life. Lee and his wife Marilyn raise five adopted children, including Tim, who faces his own challenges when he is diagnosed with autism. Though he later loses Marilyn, Lee goes on to fall in love with and marry Ellen, who makes his later years close to divine. Lee always focuses on the positive, but he pulls no punches in his frank and honest account of what quadriplegics and their caretakers deal with every day, from the use of wheelchairs, to bathroom needs, to the sometimes life-threatening, embarrassing, or hilarious moments of life.
