Libbi Evans enjoyed a normal summer for a 13 year old growing up in southwestern Ohio: attending basketball camp and ball games, Sunday dinners with her family, riding her horse to the Fourth of July parade. Then a simple misstep changed her ordinary life. Riding her horse on the road, Libbi turned to speak to her mom riding behind. At that instant Flash lost his footing, tossing Libbi over his shoulder head-first to the pavement. From that moment on, Libbi’s ordinary summer changes. As she lies unconscious in ICU, her parents must consider the worst-case scenario: a child dying. Babe and Elaine, divorced and on non-speaking terms, handle the same emotions in opposing ways. Feeling helpless, Babe spends five straight days at the hospital, hoping that somehow his sacrifice might aid his daughter’s recovery. Elaine takes a more active approach and devises a strategy for coaching her daughter out of her unconscious state. Will it be enough? ************************************************************ This three-part story details a family's emotions and a girl's frustrations as she recovers from a coma. It also tells of the problems she has once she returns to school, what she does to overcome these problems, and how she accepts the ones she can't.
