Endal - Allen & Sandra Parton (2009)
Allen is a young man in the navy, when in a foreign port is given leave to visit with a local family. On the way to their house, he is involved in a car accident and suffers a moderate head injury. This injury however leaves him with a vast range of disablities, making him eventually unfit for work, and places huge stress on his wife and children.
Allens wife Sandra alternates chapters with him, and through her work volunteering with disablilty dogs, Allen gets to meet Endal a lab who changes his life and independence.
I enjoyed reading the family story from both points of view,and thought it was an easy read.
3/5
