Cheryl Koenig’s life changed forever the day her twelve-year-old son Jonathon was involved in a horrific car accident. Given little chance of survival, Jonathan was in a coma for six weeks and doctors predicted that even if he did pull through he would most likely never walk, talk, or be able to eat again.
Paper Cranes draws on the diary Cheryl kept during this time to tell the story of Jonathan’s extraordinary courage and the Koenig family’s unceasing drive to help him defy the ominous predictions.
