Cripple 

Jonathan is a twenty-two year old quadriplegic, and Carol is his mother and carer. From their windows they both see a young man at a bus stop. From their windows they both embark on a fantasy…This book is a parable for the 21st Century, which explores the concept of virtual relationships and asks questions about their validity. Are these relationships any less real or meaningful than the ones we choose to conduct in the physical world? What’s if we can’t conduct ’traditional’ relationships? Does that mean we shouldn’t look for alternative ways to fall in love?
