Readers will revel in the story of a woman who places herself back together-and learns to dream bigger than ever before-after she’s told she’ll never run again.

As she challenges to handle crutches and an initial cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don’t know what to say, become she’s not really there. Which she could handle better if she weren’t right now keenly conscious that she’d done the same thing herself to a woman with CP named Rosa. A woman who is likely to teacher her through all the math she’s missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.
Using the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually have the ability to operate again. But that isn’t enough for her right now. She doesn’t simply want to cross surface finish lines herself-she really wants to consider Rosa with her
