That One Night

What started out as an innocent, fun-filled night suddenly turns into a parent’s worst nightmare—their child dying in a heap of twisted metal on a moonlit street. Though she survives the car crash, Kelly’s life is forever altered that one dreadful night. Once a young, carefree teenager competing in sports and laughing with friends, she wakes to a different reality full of dire predictions about what she will never be able to achieve. Even when the scars fade, she will be left with the impacts of an invisible disability. Kelly just wants to play sports and graduate from high school. To lead the life she envisions, she must believe in herself, use the resources available and never give up.

That One Night is based on the author’s own journey of trauma, survival and recovery. Ultimately a story of optimism and resilience, Kelly’s struggles remind us to never let others define our capabilities. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
