Summary

When a tragic accident crushes her dreams, can a young woman fight to thrive once again?

As a teen growing up in the '80s, Jenny Smith loved life. But, when a spinal cord injury paralyzed her from the chest down, her days of gymnastics and playing music came to an agonizing end. Completely reliant on others for her most basic needs, privacy and independence became things of the past.

Refusing to give up, Jenny struggled along the exhausting, painful, and endless road to living as a quadriplegic. So, when opportunity knocked, she risked everything to travel abroad to distribute wheelchairs, play wheelchair sports, and advocate for people with disabilities as a "roll model".

In this inspiring account, Jenny Smith shares with honesty the physical, emotional, and relational hardships facing those with paralysis. And, with her revelations and introspection, she guides the listener on a stirring journey full of humor, faith, and fortitude.
