Head Case

Head Case by Sarah Aronson

Frank is just a head. That's what he considers himself, anyway. He is paralyzed from the neck down after a car accident in which his girlfriend was killed. Everyone at school hates him for what he's done, and Frank doesn't like himself much either. What is there to life if you can't walk, run, feed yourself, go to the bathroom in privacy? While Frank tries to figure that out, I found myself compelled by this book. No privacy, ever. Complete surrender to other people helping you. What would you do?
