The Walk On Danielle Shoemaker

What would you do if the dream you'd been chasing since infancy was suddenly ripped away from you? Would you swallow it, or find a means to walk away on your own terms?The conference championship was supposed to be such a great night. Jordana Ryan was two weeks shy of winning another national title and cementing basketball glory. If 'Jordan' had waited at her university five more seconds, her life would've been vastly different. But when her estranged father, Eric, shows up, Jordan quickly finds herself involved in a freak accident that claims her teammate, and cuts her legs and basketball career tragically short. Three years after the accident, Jordan is doing a national interview. Her story is a harrowing account of her recovery, finding new love and a way to stay in the game despite new obstacles. All of it later leads to a spot on the USA National World Cup team for a chance at redemption and a gold medal. Jordan realizes just because your dream is more difficult doesn't mean you stop chasing it, and that her story has a greater impact on the people around her than she ever had as a player.
