This book is about a young girl named Bonnie who loves to dive and wants to go to the olympics for diving. But one day she hits her head on the bottom of the pool and had bad head injuries and is sent to the hospital. She doesn't know if she will ever be the best diver ever again. A few months after the accident she tries to go back to diving but the accident haunts her and she doesn't know if she will every dive again. Well this is going on her father is getting married and getting arrested. All she wants is her life to get back to normal.

This is a passage from the book when she is in her accident when she is diving.
Someone was saying my name. I opened one eye and couldn't focus. Light-I could see light. And shapes-humans figures. I opened the other eye and blinked, a big, effort, like opening and shutting a very heavy door.
"She's still not breathing" Her words made perfect sense now-someone couldn't breath.

I choose this book because I love to read books about athletes who go though a change in there life and want to get back to being the best. That is what this book was about. People should read this book because it you never know what will happen next and she will get back to normal.
