Sarah find her passion in snow boarding with the New England Handicapped Sports Association (NEHSA). She makes progress learning how to snow board with her left neglect. Sarah also bonds with her Mom. She forgives her Mom for not being there in the past when her brother had passed away. She learns her Mom likes to read People magazine, skype with her friends and continue knitting.
Sarah is offered her job back at Berkley Consultants and while she wants to go back to work, she ultimately rejects going back. She is not ready yet. Sarah slowly convinces her husband to move to Vermont in start of a different, slower-paced life. Truly, the saddest part was when Sarah's mother passed away suddenly. Sarah mourned the renewed relationship with her mother.
This book is about unexpected changes. One minute, everything was busy and chaotic, and the next everything slowed down. Sarah learned to adjust to her new disability, her new life but it took time. Her husband was always very supportive throughout. I don't think the relationships were overly deep in this book but focused on the main character's situation and overcoming obstacles. Near the end of the book, Sarah is at dinner with her husband and they decide to celebrate her one year recovery from the accident not with "what ifs" but what they gained from it. Sarah grew to know her Mom, she learned how to snowboard and was offered a job with NEHSA which she could do from home part time. She and Bob now had quality time to spend together, something they never had before.
I would rate this book 3 stars.
