| Summary |
Jen Bricker was born without legs and with her heart on the opposite side of her chest. Shocked an uncertain they could care for a child with two birth defects, her biological parents gave her up for adoption. In her loving adoptive home, there was just one simple rule: "Never say 'can't.'" And pretty soon, there was nothing that this small but mighty powerhouse set her sights on that she couldn't conquer: rollerskating, volleyball, power tumbling, spinning from silk ribbons 30 feet in the air. Everything Is Possible is her incredible story--a story of God working out his plan for her life from before day one. Readers follow Jen from the challenges of growing up different, to holding captive audiences numbering in the tens of thousands. From the strange magnetic pull she felt when watching Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu to her discovery that they are biological sisters and their emotional reunion. Everything Is Possible shows readers what they can accomplish when they remove the words coincidence and limitation from their vocabulary. Filled with heart and spirit, as well as Jen's wit, wisdom, and no-holds-barred honesty, this inspiring true story points the way to purpose and joy. |
