Lorie and Abbie trace how a spinal cord injury went from a near-certain death sentence to something people live full, active lives with. They cover the turning points: understanding infection, the wave of injuries after World War II, pioneers like Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, and the realization that getting people moving helps them recover. They also tell the story of Washington Roebling, who finished the Brooklyn Bridge from his apartment window after a spinal injury while his wife Emily ran the site, and look ahead to the next big leap in SCI care.
