Anyone who has read "Bounce Back" is sure to remember the story of Glenn Mangurian. Glenn has rebuilt his life - his "second life" - after a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed.

He has now written an ebook short story that is well worth the investment of your money and time.

"My life as I knew it ended on May 26, 2001," Glenn writes. "With no warning, one of my spinal discs ruptured. Despite two surgeries and months of rehabilitation, I was paralyzed from the waist down and permanently confined to a wheelchair. I was 52.

"Only a day earlier, I had been a happy, healthy, successful man in full charge of my life and career. The next day, I was a paraplegic in almost unbearable pain, stunned at my fate, enraged at my helplessness. I was scared to death.

"What next?

"If you're still reading these words, here's a promise: no self-pity. None. Zero. Nothing I say now or later means that I feel sorry for myself. At first, yes, but not for the past eight years. This is a celebration, not a lament. My story is all about rebounding, surviving a blow, recovering from adversity, spring (or in my case rolling) back into action."

Glenn is a true inspiration and his story is one that will motivate and lift anyone that reads it.
