A patron was asking about a new book she heard of on NBC TV (website
doesn't have anything): the premise is that a young engaged couple is
sitting on a dock, he jumps off and is paralyzed - possibly becomes a
quadriplegic - and the young woman is left facing the ethical/emotional
issues of their relationship. I couldn't find anything in B&T, or on
Amazon.

Any thoughts?

That's it - patron is delighted that you were able to come up with it so
quickly.

(She had thought the title was *Advice from a Peer*)

The book you are referring to is Dive From Clausens's Pier. The author is
Ann Packer. It got an excellent review, I believe in PW.
