Imagine pursuing the love of your life if you could not move. The Walking Man tells the story of a quadriplegic man's struggle to be with the woman he loves.
 
This original love story begins when a teenage boy inexplicably becomes paralyzed. His family tries to care for him, but tragedy ensues, forcing the young man to be institutionalized. At Leicester County Hospital, a facility dedicated to excellence in everything it does, our hero learns to deal his anger, and then finds love when a volunteer stops by to read the New York Times. Despite their spiritual connection, physical desires deter their union forcing "the walking man" to devise a plan to win back the one he loves.

*CURRENTLY EDITING! This version may or may not contain harmful stereotypes and I had been meaning to revise them and change them so better messages are communicated. Also, chapter numbers may be repeated due to newer chapters that I added after originally finishing the story. Thank u!* Owen Watson isn't what others consider a people's person. Introverted and bookish as he is, Owen is known to be grouchy and easily annoyed, especially with people who treat him as someone who is only defined by their disability. He was in a wheelchair, but he was fine anyway. Being in one means standing out, and one of the things Owen hates the most is attention. He just wants to sit back in the shadows with a good book. Everything changed when Athena Calimeris stumbled into his life and made things more complicated. Athena is your typical, bubbly, girl next door. Child at heart, people wouldn't think twice to know that she's a former child prodigy. Though her recent past tells a different story, she is as fragile as any other person can be despite her playful, sunny personality. Due to a not-so typical meeting, Owen and Athena aren't exactly instant partners in crime. With a little sprinkle of blossoming friendship and a tiny pinch of eye rolling, falling for the other might seem impossible, but not entirely.

The two have much in common, like their stubbornness and their tendancy to hate people who treat them unfairly. So when Zoe and Brayson cross paths, an instant connection is made in between the dull gray concrete walls of the psych ward. Follow the pair as they embark on a journey of a lifetime; involving sensitive situations, tears, heart-felt talks and maybe even, love.

Book 1 Elsie sits across from Atticus at the support group, her sister's hand trembling in hers. She assumes he's here for someone else-a brother, maybe a child. But when he speaks, his voice cracks. "I'm stage four," he admits, and the room falls silent. Elsie can't stop thinking about him. Weeks later, they meet by chance at a coffee shop. He's hesitant, distant. "You don't need this," he says, gesturing to himself. But she sees the way he smiles when she laughs, the way his eyes light up when they talk about music. One night, he collapses in her arms. The seizures are getting worse. She stays anyway. What happens when love means choosing pain?
