Yes definitely! You make a good point about it being more realistic. I'd like to see more authors trying to achieve diversity when it comes to their characters

- Latest Review: Ten Directions by Samuel Winburn
single father with a knee injury who works as a guard so he can hold on to custody of his son. Steve's son,
Jimmy struggles to live in an expensive rehabilitation center and create a career for himself. Both
characters have a good attitude most of the time and that's impressive.

- Latest Review: The Fox by M. N. J. Butler
I think it's reasonable and believable to have disabled people in a story like this, people have accidents in these types of jobs.

They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts
