The Body Broken by Lynne Greenberg 921 Greenberg

The next time I have a headache or my back aches I'm going to build a bridge and get over it! Nothing I have ever experienced is close to one minute of what Lynne Greenberg has gone through. As a college student she was athletic and active. Then she met Martin. I don't know that Martin can be totally blamed...but still. Date number one- horseback riding. Lynne's horse bolts and throws her. Date two- they go skeet shooting, the gun backfires and she falls to the ground. Instead of dropping Walter, she decides to go on a third date. On their way to a party Martin is driving too fast (this is his fault!) and no one was wearing a seat belt (it was in the olden days). Lynne was lucky to be alive. She recovered, returned to school, fell in love, got married, had kids and taught English lit. And then the pain began - which is what this story is about. How her past came back to shatter her whole world and how she dealt with it is inspiring. The story of a strong woman. It was a good read.
