Never Give Up is the inspiring memoir of Jenny Maher and her fiercedetermination to make her own way in life. "As a quadriplegic, with nofamily support or place to live, I had to live in the hospital/nursinghome. My goal no matter what therapists told me was to get around in amanual chair and to live independently. "My treatment got so bad thatall alone I took a plane from Colorado to Tennessee with only twobackpacks to reach the spinal cord center. There they continued mytherapy, took care of my wounds, and even taught me to drive. "Iwrote this book not to just tell people my story, but to show people who have given up, lost hope, or don't think they can make it another dayto not give up, life is full of obstacles. That's what makes itinteresting. Though I've learned as long as I kept moving forward, evenif it was baby steps, I was doing well. Even when sometimes I took a few steps back or fell down, I learned with God's help to get back up andkeep moving. I hope the people who read this will find the determination in themselves and not give up."
