Read this the summer of '72 in Santa Maria, California. It was a library book. A girl in a wheelchair and her older sister are shopping and the chair gets 2 flat tires. A young guy (ex-Army, I think) with a prosthetic leg helps them get home. He and the older sister date, but he steps on her foot as they dance. He plays wheelchair basketball, his chair tips and he's standing upright for a second, then face-plants and everyone laughs. I know this isn't much to go on, but it's all I've got.
Harriet May Savitz, On the Move.
I know I read it summer of ’72, and the information for “On the Move” says it was published in ’73; however, it is possible it is one of her other books
If that’s from Goodreads, readers post whatever information they have; they may not know the earliest publication date.
I’ve looked at the preview of the book online–the details all match.
Thanks. I’ll look again.
Solved Yep, that seems to be the one. Thank you.
