Away at school, Sally Copeland has always dreamed of going home, but now that her dream is coming true, she feels frightened and unsure of herself. Will her brother and sisters accept her? Will she be able to do things for herself? And what will it be like to go to a local school and be the only one with cerebral palsy? Once at home, even though things are hard to do for herself, Sal realizes that her family loves and supports her, and encourage her independence. Making friends at school, however, is not quite as easy. When a new dog joins the family, Sally discovers a new way to connect with others.
