About the Author
Lorrie Kruse has always been drawn to books. She remembers the excitement when the Scholastic book pamphlets were handed out way back in grade school. She immediately started circling all of the books she wanted. Little did she know that one day she would write her own book. Being a creative person, it s only natural that her creativity would creep out in the form of writing. Lorrie s reading interests have shifted over the years. Once she hit the teen years and moved past kids stories, she moved on to horror stories. (Three cheers to Stephen King s wife for pulling his manuscript out of the garbage.) She s also been a fan of romance, medical mysteries, and suspense. Some of her favorite authors are Janet Evanovich, Robert Crais, Harlan Coben, Jane Porter, and John Sandford. Lorrie is many things besides a writer. By day she s a legal secretary (not to be confused with the illegal secretary of her evening hours). She s a wife (to a wonderful prince of a husband, Brian) and a mom (to a non-furry two-legged critter (Tyler) and a very furry four-legged critter (Token, an Alaskan husky)). Lorrie rarely sits idle. If she s not doing one of the aforementioned activities, then she s probably making jewelry or crocheting another pair of socks (much to the dismay of her hubby who says why don t you just buy socks at Walmart). And, if there s a wayward teddy bear in need of a home, Lorrie s your go-to-gal, as long as that bear doesn t mind living in a log home in the country in often-chilly central Wisconsin. Lorrie hopes you ve enjoyed reading this book. She would love to hear from you. Her website is: lorriekruse.com or email her at lorriekruse@gmail.com.

A Very Touching Story
By Squeak
This story starts out with Matthew Huntz waking up in the hospital after he has been involved in an accident. Nothing anyone says to him can prepare him for the shock of waking up paralyzed. At first, he doesn't believe it. Then he refuses to accept that he is paralyzed. Then he believes it will just be a matter of time before he is all better. But things aren't moving quickly enough for him, his family, or his fianc�e. They all want him to walk again now or at least in the very near future.
Abby is a physical therapist who is assigned to help Matt. She has to work with him and teach him how to maneuver in and out of his chair as well as learn how to balance and move without tipping over. She is also trying to help him accept that he may never walk again. Matt refuses all help in that last category, but that doesn't stop Abby from giving him a reality check every once in a while.
There were many things I liked about this book. For a debut novel, I was really impressed with Lorrie Kruse's style. The banter between the characters in this book is sarcastic and fun. Matt's family is supportive but at the same time not willing to grasp the reality of Matt's situation. Matt's girlfriend seems like she is trying to accept this new situation with Matt but there is just something about her that tells you it is probably not going to ever be the same.
I think what I liked most about this book was that it was realistic fiction. When things go bad in our lives we all look for that miracle that will make everything all better. As an author, you can just write a miracle into the story when you need one instead of working out the story without a miracle. Lorrie Kruse chose to work out the story instead of writing in a miracle and I liked that. Also, there were many things about living as a handicapped person that were described correctly. Lorrie didn't just skip over all the difficult stuff a handicapped person must live with. When you are paralyzed, it is not just about getting into a wheel chair and rolling yourself around. Everything becomes a challenge. I think Lorrie did a great job explaining some of those challenges that a newly handicapped person would have to face.

"Poignant, highly emotional. Lorrie Kruse is an author to watch."
By lettetia
Matthew Huntz thought his life was working out as planned. He is working with his father at their construction company, he has found the girl he will marry and built the house to raise his family in; everything is perfect to make his dad proud of him. Perfect, until Matt wakes in the hospital after a devastating accident; an accident he can't remember. When the doctors tell Matt and his family that he is paralyzed from the waist down, his life and all of his plans fall apart.
Abby Fischner, the physical therapist assigned to his case, is happy to finally be working with a spine injury patient. Matt is stubborn, angry and in denial about his situation. Abby is no shy maiden, either, she does her best to come out the victor in their battle of wills. Abby has problems and issues of her own, but working with Matt and trying to get him see that he is not defined by his handicap, helps to ease her burdens. Also, more importantly, she has made a dear friend. Now if only she could keep herself from falling in love with him.
A Life Worth Living is an emotional journey with many highs and lows along the way. There are joys and sorrows in this novel, and the foibles of friends and family, warts and all. I caught myself many times, wanting to tell Matt to grow up, and yet I cheered him on through his recovery. Likewise, I watched as the relationship developed in increments as the days and months passed. Have the tissues ready when you read this book, it will hit your heart in many places. Bravo, Ms Kruse!

slow
By DevoGirl
I had high hopes for this book, but I found it a slow, frustrating read. I really liked how realistic the portrayal of spinal cord injury was. Kudos to the author for really doing her research, putting in a lot of details, and not cheating on the outcome.
However, the pacing is way off. The novel begins with Matt waking up in the hospital, at that point with a girlfriend who is clearly 100% wrong for him. However, it takes until nearly the end of the novel for this obviously doomed relationship to end, which leaves us almost no time to get to know Abby or see Matt and Abby together.
In the meantime, we are treated to pages and pages of Matt's serious depression, agonizing over this doomed relationship, and bad advice from his parents. This is also quite realistic, but more fitting for literary fiction than romance. I found Matt really whiny, immature, and unpleasant. Bad enough that he can't get over his glory days in high school and that he is obsessed with being just like his dad. His incipient alcoholism was the final straw--I just could not buy him as a romantic hero.
