We can all live the impossible, even when life doesn't go as planned. Jenny Smith was a typical '80s teenager-a gymnast and athlete who loved hair and makeup, played in a band, and was active in her church youth group. Then one bright summer morning, the morning's dew-coated grass changed her life. A spinal cord injury left her paralyzed from the chest down, dependent on others for her most basic needs. Privacy and independence seemed like things of the past. The recovery was long, slow, and painful. But Jenny refused to give up. She's traveled multiple times to Afghanistan and Mexico for wheelchair distributions and sports camps, and even rolled the New York City runway as a model during Fashion Week. She's also conquered the everyday challenges-getting a degree, finding a job, buying a car and a home, and living independently. Jenny Smith is a spokesperson for independent and vibrant living with a disability. Her speeches, articles, and social media presence have touched thousands of lives. In Live the Impossible, Smith shares what it looks like to live as a quadriplegic, from the everyday details most people never think about, to the countless people who have impacted her life along the way, and how she learned to be an advocate for herself and others. She doesn't shy away from the physical, emotional, and relational hardships that come with paralysis, yet with honesty and humor, faith and fortitude, Jenny shows us how we can all live the impossible, even when life doesn't go as planned.
