Pretty good submitted by urjasinha00 on June 16, 2014, 8:42am i really like this book, i usually don't rest realistic fiction, but this book was really good

Touching and Influential submitted by comet on June 16, 2017, 10:58am Nearly scarred for life as an amputee, Jessica's running dreams are shattered and crushed. But with unwavering support provided by her track team and her own unbreakable self-esteem and confidence, Jessica's prosthetic limb keeps her running back on track, again. This touching debut keeps readers emotional and grateful for two perfect functional limbs, and keeps me grateful, too.
