ADVERSITY INTO

Transform your

The Rebellious Recovery follows Aaron on a mind-expanding, odds-defying journey from quadriplegic to inspirational figure riding a bicycle across the country—twice—training for the Paralympics, starting a business and a family, and more.

Adventure

  • A Journey That Redefines What's Possible

    Some books ask you to sit still and read. The Rebellious Recovery asks you to get up and go, because that's exactly what Aaron does, and he takes you with him.

    I loved the sense of motion in this book. This isn't a story that stays in a hospital room feeling sorry for itself. Aaron takes you on the road — across the country, and across his whole life — through landscapes that become almost like characters themselves. I came to this memoir not knowing much about…

  • WOW - what an inspiration Aaron is!

    I met Aaron recently at a charity event, and he mentioned having written this book. When I started reading it, I didn't know what to expect, but I couldn't put it down. It's very easy to get caught up in life and to get bogged down in your 'problems.'’ This book did a great job of reminding me that problems are all relative, and some of the day-to-day obstacles I may have to deal with really aren't that significant at all. The things Aaron has achieved and his outlook on life are truly inspiring.

  • INSPRING AND RELATEABLE

    I’m a C5 quadriplegic, injured 2 years ago in a mountain biking accident. I had been feeling down and a little lost and needed to kill some time, so I took up reading. This was the first book I found and it helped to shift my focus from past to present. It also helped me move a bit closer to accepting what I’m going through. I would absolutely recommend this book to anybody at all, especially those seeking inspiration.

  • WARNING, may cause incredible sense of inspiration!

    This book is special. A gripping account of an adventurous life, an earth-shattering event, and a long rebellious road to recovery. Be prepared to have the hair stand up on the back of your neck, to laugh, to cry, and to be truly inspired to rebel against any adversity in your life. Arron's note "to my younger self" is also a brilliant reminder to reflect on one's own past and evolve as we move forward. Full disclosure: I am mentioned in this book. As I read the stories in the pages (some I knew, some I didn't), I was completely glued to the details and transformed even past my own memories of the events.

  • A Sensational Must Read

    Not only is Rebellious Recovery a beautifully written memoir, but A must-read for the newly spinal cord injured and a brilliant self-help book for all. Full disclosure: Aaron and his story are personally a guiding light of hope through my spinal cord injury journey, which started only a couple of years after Aaron‘s injury. I always knew that Aaron achieved miraculous results through perseverance and focus, but now we know the details through this excellent, inspirational work! Well done, Aaron! Thank you for giving this gift to the world!

  • A MUST READ compelling and inspirational story!

    This story illustrates how powerful the mind is. What can happen when you put your mind to something and give it your all? It takes a village, as they say, but life is an adventure, and if you can rise above your circumstances, the possibilities are endless and full of purpose. I highly recommend this story, especially if you need guidance and encouragement on your journey! Life is worth living!

  • This book is for everyone! Surprisingly Resonant!

    Not having been injured, I didn’t think this story would in any way be applicable to my life and have such a strong impact on inspiration, courage, and consciousness. Since I was deeply aware of Aaron’s amazingly profound recovery, I was anxious to read it and was surprised when I was drawn into my own life’s journey. Though Aaron’s life choices lead him in his own unique direction, his adventure is nothing short of a path to enlightenment. His extraordinary willingness to face his challenges head-on, purely and courageously, is totally inspirational for all of us. I feel enlivened and grateful for the gift of traveling on his Soul journey. There is no one that his story will not affect

  • Just what I needed

    This book is truly inspirational. My son Brian suffered a spinal cord stroke in December of 2022. We were connected with Aaron through a friend of mine. We both read Aaron's book and when I found out that Aaron's Mom, Laquita had also written a book about her journey, it was a must to read. It has helped me through some dark moments. Rise Together is an amazing book. Thank you, Laquita, for telling your story and helping others, including me know that we are not alone in this journey and your book solidifies the belief in love, determination and recovery from a spinal cord injury.
