Her writing style is personal and empowers readers to rapidly connect with Montgomery's family.

I was thoroughly absorbed in just an accident. This book is more than an inspirational read. In it, the reader will see people of character that surround our own lives like the paramedics who reached him and got him out of the woods. There are so many: the doctors and nurses, physical therapists and insurance case workers, brothers and sisters, wife and children, parents and in-laws, and other disabled people such as Christopher Reeve. Reeve invited Scott to visit at his home "for a personal chat."
