Dee Malchow, "Alive and Whole- Amputation:Emotional Recovery"

Losing a limb will impact every aspect of a persons' life.

This book describes the emotional process that a person experiences in adjusting to limb loss. 

It's based on the author's own story and professional experience yet includes input for many others living with an amputation.

A person's attitude and behavior will either promote or impede progress.  An amputation can feel like a disaster or a nuisance.  Most days it feels somewhere in between.
