I would 10/10 recommend this book because it teaches you how to overcome trials in your life and shows you that you can do anything you put your mind to. It gives you a sort of perspective on life and how we take the little things for granted.

Jessica Carlisle's motivation for her journey in trying to run again was because she had no hope. After losing her leg she had to fight physically, mentally, and emotionally. Jessica experienced more in the story than just losing her leg, but each time she took 3 steps back, she was able to take 10 steps forward.

"I am a runner. That's what I do. That's who I am. Running is all I know, or want, or care about." (Part 1, Ch. 2, p. 6).
I feel like this is an important quote for the book overall because no matter what she was told and all the positives to look at she didn't care. She knew she was made to run and throughout the entire book she always refers to the fact that she can't run the way she would prefer anymore.
