But they have not counted on Steve's formidable will, defiant spirit, and relentless courage. Remarkably, within nine months he is out of his wheelchair, onto crutches, and off for his freshman year at Yale. Though schoolwork proves easier than getting off the crutches or feeling whole, Steve never loses his wisecracking sense of humor or his hunger for all that life has to offer. His tempestuous relationship with his father forms the emotional heart of the book: as he moves into adulthood the two forge a bond that carries them through unforeseen crises. Eventually Steve also finds another father figure who helps him with his grueling rehabilitation, a manic former pro football player who creates a workout that tests him mentally and physically, and propels him off his crutches for good. Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel affirms how the ordinary joys of life can triumph in extraordinary circumstances.

When people die, are they ever truly gone? I had heard the saying “pennies from heaven” before, but my coins from heaven seemed to be dimes. Was my father actually sending me dimes to show me he wasn’t really gone? My mother seemed to be sending pennies all the time, but my dad was pretty clever. Everyone around me knew that I was sensitive, but it took me writing about a few special dimes to discover what it meant to be an empath. Along with the messages from Heaven, I share how I am listening to the positive voice inside my head. This book is about so much more than dimes, yet without them, I wouldn’t have written it.
