Winner of the 2012 Schneider Family Book Award
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.

開頭部分特彆精彩!超有代入感,第一視角下,那份絕望和無助,突然感悟到世上那麼多殘疾人,都曾經曆過這一切,當我們再在街上看到他們時,看到他們說說笑笑時,該是多麼地敬佩和感動。殘疾人想要的不隻是同情,他們想要在社會上做一個完整的人,和所有普通人一樣,敢愛敢恨,有長處有短闆,會哭會笑的完整的人。
评分The first book I finished reading in 2018. I guess this is a book which people who are in the downs of their lives can get power from. It's just so inspiring. BTW, I'm thrilled to see the salty kiss from Gavin! It's like a dream (that wasn't realized in The Confessions of A Serial Kisser) come true!
评分挺勵誌的一本小書,原版的用詞也比較簡單,挺適閤閱讀的。
评分很暖心~
