Publisher Description
Born without Legs, She Inspires Others to Overcome
Jen Bricker was born without legs. Shocked and uncertain they could care for her, 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 this small but mighty powerhouse set her sights on that she couldn't conquer: roller-skating, volleyball, power tumbling, and spinning from silk ribbons thirty 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. 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. Foreword by Nick Vujicic.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers looking for inspiration, encouragement, and endless good cheer will enjoy Bricker's autobiography, which moves from her birth and adoption to her life as a performer now. Bricker was born without legs; her Romanian birth parents placed her for adoption and the Bricker family stepped right up, bringing Jen to their home in the Salem, Ill. Eager to keep up with her three older brothers, Bricker was a "normal girl," playing softball, jumping on the trampoline, and doing gymnastics. "Can't" wasn't part of her vocabulary. Most interesting is Bricker's discovery that her birth sister is Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu; Bricker also talks about how she became a world-famous aerialist and performed and spoke around the world. "You... owe it to yourself to live the happiest, fullest life possible," she says. This book is full of advice and stories in Bricker's exuberant, high-spirited voice, with a foreword by Australian Christian evangelist Nick Vujicic.
