Synopsis: In 1955, Jill Kinmont, in the last qualifying race before the Olympics tryouts, skied down a mountain, to disaster. She crashed to earth at forty miles an hour. She never stood up again. Her fall left her permanently paralyzed from the shoulders down.
Now Jill had another kind of mountain to climb, back up from total helplessness to a useful, meaningful way of life. This is the story of that superhuman struggle and her incredible, inspiring victory.
Part 2: Making a life again when your body feels dead from the neck down. Pursuing a career when you cannot move without a wheelchair. Giving meaning to the lives of children when you can never have children of your own. Jill Kinmont did it all....Now you can read of Jill Kinmont’s ultimate achievement, accepting the challenge of love.
