The Things We Can(not)

Jolie Sanderson is an average twenty-something who goes about her days just like everyone else, except for that sneaking suspicion that something isn't right. Not at all. She can't put her finger on it, but it's something in the way other people interact with her. When she's forced to confront her past, Jolie learns that her mind has blocked out a tragic car accident that took the life of her mother and the use of her legs. Sometimes it takes learning the things you cannot to lead you to the things you can. But only if you're brave enough to remember first.
