Kasey to the Rescue by Ellen Rogers
A fascinating subject about a mother's quadriplegic son and his service monkey, but I think the real strength is her writing ability. Ellen's style makes me wish for another memoir about HER life, even if it's not as eventful as someone else's. She walks a delicate balance between humor and intelligent analysis, with an engaging speaking style. I say speaking style because I felt as though she were telling me the story in person. I found myself holding my breath, wondering what would happen next, and then experiencing the same joy she conveyed. I really do hope to see more work from her, but until then, this book is an inspiring and funny story. I think we'll all want a monkey when we're done reading it.
