Nothing will distract Isla Flores from her Paralympic goals.

Her world is work and training, nothing else matters. When her coach and best friend Duncan challenges her to make a 10-item bucket list, she's forced to think about life off the track.

The more time she spends with Duncan, the more value she sees in everyday life...and love.

Duncan Schmitz went from homelessness to his dream job as a youth pastor.

The only problem is that he's loved Isla from afar for as long as he can remember. He's taken it upon himself to remind her what life is like off the track. And maybe also remind her he's not just her coach, but the one who's cared about her the longest.

Get this sweet, heart-warming, friends-to-lovers romance by best-selling author Kari Trumbo that sounds like a Hallmark movie.

Infirmities do not define a person. This wonderful narration of Ms. Trumbo's story comes to life to remind us all that God's plan is the best plan. Even if that means injuries, deformities, and mental challenges have happened.

Always push forward, but understand that God has it under control. Even if it isn't what you originally thought you wanted.

I really liked this story with its two main characters, who, over the years really get to know each other and cannot for their own reasons admit to their love.
Kari Trumbo has written a delightfully inspiring story weaving in trust, hope, ambition, near tragedy, love and romancing just to name a few things. I mean, what more could one want in a story?
Emmalyn Miles read it very nicely and I enjoyed this combination of author and narrator. Its a fitting story for this time of the year.
I listened to an audiobook version and my unbiased review above is given voluntarily.

An Ambitious Young Lady!

this was both a new to me author and narator. I liked the story a lot, not really preachy while still mentioning god and praying and church. which is what I prefer, like, it's there, but it's not all the story is about. as someone who has spent some time in a wheelchair, I loved the story itself, of how Duncan was always there. I don't want to spoil the story, but it was so adorable in places.

the narator was a little dry for me I wouldn't say robotic, but it felt more like she was just reading words, not really trying to bring the story to life. I won't avoid her going forward, buy not my first choice either

sweet story
