The Running Dream
The Running Dream - Wendelin Van Draanen

Nice and enjoyable book that isn't preachy or depressing despite being about handicaps.  Jessica is a teenager who has lost her leg in a vehicle accident and must learn to live with this condition when the biggest part of her life has been as a runner.  She probably gets through her trials easier than I suspect most anyone would, but it doesn't matter that much. It was a decent story anyway, and the focus on her friend Rosa at the end was great.  Rosa has cerebral palsy and she has some things to teach Jessica

quote SPOILER ALERT! 2013-01-05 00:11
We were lying on our backs next to each other, everything hidden by the covers, and after a second I reached over for his thigh and let my hand trail downward to the stump, the thick scarred skin.
I held the stump for a second. He flinched. "It hurts?" I asked.
"No," he said.
He flipped himself onto his side and kissed me."You're so hot," I said, my hand still on his leg.
"I'm starting to think you have an amputee fetish," he answered, still kissing me. I laughed.
"I have an Augustus Waters fetish," I explained.
Hazel Grace Lancaster, as the Narrator of John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars"
