Stuck in Neutral is the story of Shawn McDaniel's life. He is glued to his wheelchair, unable to voluntarily move a muscle-he can't even move his eyes. For all Shawn's father knows, his son may be suffering. Shawn may want a release, and as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger. 

To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen- a spirit that is rich beyond imagining. (Trueman)
