Description: Following an automobile accident in which her neck is broken, a teenage karate champion begins a long and painful recovery with the help of her family. The car accident changed everything. Before, Anna knew who she was and what she looked like-a pretty, popular girl who loved karate. But now she's a stranger to her family, her friends, and even herself. Anna's body has betrayed her, and she knows it will never be the same. All the layers that made up the old Anna-her looks, her friends, her sport-have been peeled away, leaving her to face the question of who she really is, and what she wants to be.
