Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's
not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a
prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?
As she
struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica
feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don't know what to
say, act like she's not there. Which she could handle better if she weren't now
keenly aware that she'd done the same thing herself to a girl with CP named
Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she's missed. A girl
who sees right into the heart of her.
With the support of family,
friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run
again. But that's not enough for her now. She doesn't just want to cross finish
lines herself—she wants to take Rosa with her.
