At seventeen years old, Ruthie Lindsey is hit by an ambulance. She's given a five percent chance of survival and one percent chance of walking again. One month later after a spinal fusion surgery, Ruthie defies the odds, leaving the hospital on her own two feet. Just a few years later, Ruthie begins to experience debilitating pain. Ruthie has become bedridden, addicted, and hopeless. As her life unravels, Ruthie returns home to Louisiana and sets out on a journey to learn joy again - weaning herself off of the drugs and beginning the process of healing and of coming home to her body.
