Quadriplegia/Disability is the main theme in this book. The book, "Joni" is a compelling story of a young woman who permanently loses movement from her shoulders down after a tragic diving accident. The story of the brave Joni Eareckson serves as an educational tool in understanding in vivid detail the life of a quadriplegic. It tells the long, harrowing journey that a formerly mobile person is forced to take after becoming paralyzed. Not only are the physical demands Joni must face unthinkable, it is her private thoughts, fear and anger that at times are more unbearable.
