The BasketballSomething that Samantha has always loved, and has never wanted to put down. The WheelchairSomething that Emma has always tried to walk away from. StrengthSamantha Reens once thought that she had it. She once thought that it was something she simply couldn't loose. She certainly never imagined that she-the tall, athletic, outgoing, and confident basketball captain could suddenly have less strength than Emma-the small, disabled and introverted wheelchair girl simply after one single fall. But that was before Samantha found out that she was broken, and that she needed to have a major orthopedic surgery that would break herself even more-and then give her the opportunity to gain back her strength. WeakThat's something that Emma Perkins has never let herself be, even though she lives with a great challenge that seeks to make her weaker and weaker each day. Emma has always pushed herself both beyond the limits that her disability has forever challenged her with, She's alsonever even slowed down to look at the distance that she's overcome. But that was before the basketball captain asked her for advice on how to handle her own disability-because apparently, she was going to have the same surgery that Emma had just had. FriendshipIt's not something that either of them expected to form between them, nor something that Emma's willing to accept so easily-but something that might happen regardless of everyone's objections. The Taylor Spatial FrameThe brace that each of the girls must wear, the reason that they become friends, the tool that helps them regain their strength, and that bonds them together.
