A story that could be either uncompromisingly bleak or unbearably saccharine is neither in Center’s hands Margaret faces her challenges with a sense of humor that feels natural. He has a prickly exterior, but Margaret slowly begins to realize that there may be more to him than she initially thought. As her family members try in their own ways to motivate Margaret, she also has to get through physical therapy with Ian, the world’s grumpiest Scottish physical therapist. Now, Margaret has only her family to depend on-her well-meaning but controlling mother, her loving father, and her black-sheep sister, Kitty, who returns to town after years of estrangement. Suddenly, everything about Margaret’s life has changed: Her job offer is rescinded, Chip can’t cope with her injuries, and she may never walk again. Chip walks away without a scratch while Margaret has severe burns on her neck and a spinal cord injury. But then Margaret’s biggest nightmare becomes a reality: The plane crashes. When Chip proposes in the air, Margaret has everything she’s ever wanted: an MBA, a great job lined up, and now the fiance of her dreams. Margaret Jacobsen has always been afraid of flying-which is why she’s extra hesitant to get in a plane flown by her pilot-in-training boyfriend, Chip, on Valentine’s Day. A woman faces a new life after surviving a plane crash in this moving story from Center ( Happiness for Beginners, 2015, etc.).
