(W)hole

(W)hole by Ruth Madison
****

Modern day romance about a devotee girl who falls in love with an SCI guy. This is the first novel (so far) to portray the devotee experience, and it's movingly accurate. The author, Ruth Madison, is a dev herself and member of PD. Highly highly recommended for every devotee, and for anyone who wants to understand us.

This book was the subject of the first book club:

Devo Girl also gives the sequel ****

Elizabeth goes to college, but things with Stewart are not as perfect as she imagined.

But what will her mother say when she brings home disabled boyfriend #2? Recommended, of course! This is about you, don't miss it!
