I'd Rather Be Dancing: A Story of a Writer, a Wheelchair User, a Boy Learning Love

When Dan Acosta fell out of a tree and broke his back -- an accident that permanently paralyzed his arms and legs -- he responded in typical Acosta fashion: He gave Fate the finger. Then he vowed to go on living a full, passionate life . . . as a freelance travel writer, scuba diver, water skier and lover of many, many women. I'd Rather Be Dancing tells the first-person, unvarnished story of that incredible life. What's this book like? Think Dostoyevsky's Underground Man on steroids. Or Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer . . . as related by a very inventive "quad" who became a world-class expert at pleasing women in the sack. The bottom line: For all its pain and aching physical detail, this book is a joyful shout from a man who loved life -- and a soaring victory for the human spirit! --Tom Nugent, author and national correspondent for People Magazine, the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune
