Summary

Jess Quinn is, in her own words, quite literally a walking miracle. Her body has been completely restructured so that she could survive an aggressive cancer.

Jess’s leg was amputated just before her ninth birthday, and she has had to adapt to living with a prosthetic leg. The challenges Jess has faced ever since have given her a unique outlook. Growing up, she felt alone in her difference, but she has learnt that the one thing people have in common is that we are all different.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“While positive, the memoir is not sappy… . Readers will feel the energy of this little fighter (her own nickname) persevering. The physical and emotional pain can be overwhelming, and Quinn doesn’t sugarcoat her experiences. Instead, she gives the reader insight into the changes in perspective that allowed her to reshape her narrative.” – Booklist
