Looks like the book is broken out in parts,
so I plan to come back after every Part and do a post

I'll be back soon

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Part I

Wow, what a tough tough thing she's going through
I'm a runner - and I can't even imagine how tough(view spoiler)[ it would be to lose my foot....I'd feel just as devastated as she does (hide spoiler)]

amazing(view spoiler)[ how upbeat she was for her sister (hide spoiler)]

and (view spoiler)[ she's healing quickly. things will change hopefully when she gets that prosthetic (hide spoiler)]

Part II

What an (view spoiler)[ amazing friend she has. to go through and hang signs, plan a party and push her to every class. and to get her out of the house in the first place! (hide spoiler)]

Awful(view spoiler)[ that there is all this fighting about insurance. but it was dangerous for her parents to not have them insured but a struggle that many families have faced. I hope that all gets worked out. I can understand now why her dad was frustrated and angry (hide spoiler)]

Part III

WOW!(view spoiler)[ the fundraising for the running prosthetic is amazing! but WOW the money....
I hate that they are still fighting with the insurance company too :/ (hide spoiler)]

Team(view spoiler)[ I love how they are rallying behind her! (hide spoiler)]

Vanessa(view spoiler)[ what a horrible person she is (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I"m done!

what a great great story!! I loved this one!

I can't even(view spoiler)[ imagine running 10 miles pushing someone
but I could...I could build up to that. I love running. (hide spoiler)]
