I received an advanced review copy, and I’m so glad I did! It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that I rushed to read every time I had a spare moment. I needed to know what was going to happen next with not only Kelly, but others in her life.
Kelly’s story gripped me from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I cried many times throughout, both tears of sadness and joy. At just nineteen, her life was forever changed by a drunk driver. A friend was killed, she was left a paraplegic, and her brother was left with major brain damage. A nightmare doesn’t begin to describe what their family went through beginning that horrible night.
She shares the story not only from her own perspective, but also from the points of view of others, making the story even more gripping. It reads like a friend sharing her story over a cup of coffee. It’s not just a powerful story, but it’s told so well, too.
Her entire family is full of heroes, and Kelly herself is one. She shares her struggles openly and well, making me feel like I’m right there with her. This is such an inspiring story of courage. Kelly went from thinking her life was over to overcoming so many obstacles and living a fuller life than many able-bodied people do.
This is definitely a must read!

Michelle Weidenbenner
Michelle is a fulltime employee of God’s kingdom, writing and encouraging writers every day. She’s often a sucker for emotional stories, her sensitive side fueling the passion for her character’s plights, often giving her the ability to show readers the “other” side of the story.
She grew up in the burbs of Detroit with five brothers. No sisters. Each time her mom brought the boy bundle home from the hospital Michelle cried, certain her mom liked boys better than girls. But when her brothers pitched in with the cooking, cleaning, and babysitting—without drama, Michelle discovered having brothers wasn’t so bad. They even taught her how to take direct criticism without flinching, which comes in handy with book reviews.
Michelle is living her dream—writing every day and thanking God for the stories He puts in her path. When Michelle isn’t writing she’s winning ugly on the tennis court. She’s known as “Queen of the Rim Shots.” No joke. It’s ugly.
