My Last Gift Is Your Freedom

Summary

After my legs were taken from me, I used to think I was the luckiest girl in the world. I had two people who refused to let me go.

One was my little sister, Sadie. When we were children, I ran into the woods to draw the abductors away from her. They caught me, and they shattered my left leg so I couldn't run again. After we were rescued, Sadie became my legs. She carried me on her back to school, to clinic after clinic, until her own spine curved under my weight.
