How to Walk Away
by Katherine Center
What happens when your boyfriend takes you on his airplane
without a license, asks you to marry him, you get stuck in a storm, crash and
then wake up in the hospital…paralyzed?
Welcome to Margaret Jacobsen’s nightmare. Chip, her long-time boyfriend – the calm,
cool, collected, WASPy, all-American guy – loses his cool, but manages to
escape the plane crash unscathed. He is
unable to look at his “deformed” newly-asked fiance. Katherine Center’s book How to Walk Away is a clear ‘chick-lit’ novel that is rather
depressing, but it leaves the reader realizing there is a glimmer of hope, if
you build it for yourself. After a
lengthy rehab, Maggie finds a way to realize that one creates their own
lemonade out of lemons. She endures
despite never regaining her ability to walk, losing her fiance, falling in love
with her physical therapist while in the hospital and then driving him away, watching her
father leave her mother when it is learned that he is not the biological father
of her sister, and many more hardships.
You can’t really have more drama!
Well, all things bad can turn bright…at least for those who work at
it. Cute book, somewhat predictable, but a pretty soft read.
