I really enjoyed this, as it wasn't initially obvious as to how the happy ending would be, i.e. who would finish up with who! It's the story of Lily Thomas who is a teenage skiing sensation in training for the Winter Olympics. Her father Bill dotes on her (and can afford to do so) so he is devastated when Lily is paralysed in a ski lift accident and refuses to believe the surgeon Jessie Matthews that Lily will never walk - or ski - again, and takes Lily around the world to various experts to get what he expects is a different diagnosis. He then discovers that Jessie is well-respected in her field, and she was correct in what she told Bill. The story continues with how both of them adjust and what Bill decides to do as a result.
