She occasionally returns to her pre-accident life to tell about her family-with special attention to her brother, Jeff, who suffered profoundly from multiple sclerosis and who died some years after her accident. She says she has no memory of the moment when a branch caught in her front wheel and sent her hurtling to the ground, a collision that shattered her jaw and broke vertebrae, but she tells about her long period of rehab and the devotion of friends and, especially, of her lover, Janet. One moment, she is on her bicycle the next, she is on the ground, her life forever transformed by an accident that leaves her a quadriplegic.Ĭrosby, who still teaches part-time at Wesleyan University (English and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies) and has published scholarly works ( The Ends of History: Victorians and “The Woman Question,” 1991), offers a painfully, even courageously candid memoir about her accident in 2003 and its aftermath. ![]()
