This book, written by an awe-inspiring young woman, is a great read for anyone of any age. It is decidely upbeat, yet candid about the realities of growing up a little different. While Ms. Bruno technically has a disability(it is important to note that her track times are faster than most good high-school men with both legs), the book really is less about that issue and more about surmounting the obstacles that we all face in every day life, whether moving from place to place and trying to make new friends or excelling and failing at the sports we love, or simply trying to figure out what we are all about. Ultimately, for Ms. Bruno, it is about making the choice every day that life is pretty sweet, and that all limits are self-imposed. Written by a woman with a never-quit attitude and an unabashedly youthful outlook on a life (who also seems to be clumsy despite her athletic prowess), this is a really fun read!
