Jumping The Curb: One family's journey through a catastrophic injury - Paperback

by Gail Desberg (Author)

When Alex Kiejdan, a free-spirited father of two, decides to go body surfing at the Jersey shore, he has no idea that it will be the last time he has full control of his body. After a life altering accident Alex and his wife Gail are forced to discover what the people around them are really made of.

Their young family is thrown into an alien world of medical emergencies, insurance nightmares, life-and-death decisions, and family politics. Gail has to put her own needs aside in order to take care of their small children, support her quadriplegic husband, and try to create an awareness of the dangers that lie beyond the water's ege. These sacrifices come at a cost that only gradually reveals itself.
