1. After the accident, Sarah fears that she can no longer be a good mother because she is in a wheelchair. Do you think that Sarah’s worries are justified, or is Sarah’s mother correct when she tells Sarah that all mothers are scared?
2. Who is the hero in this story? Sarah, for finally learning to accept her disability? Abram, for all he does to make a good life for Sarah? Saul, Sarah’s father, for helping Abram financially? Mary, Sarah’s mother, for calming Sarah’s fears about motherhood? What about Brenda, a loyal friend to both Sarah and Abram? Or, are all of these people heroes in their own right, each one serving the Lord and each other?
3. If you woke up one day and couldn’t walk, do you think you would go through the range of emotions that Sarah did? Could you eventually accept the hand God dealt you, or do you think you might stray from Him for a while, or maybe forever?
4. Sarah forms a bond with a duck she names Henry, both struggling to live a new and more challenging way of life. Have you ever had a pet that you connected to because of a shared set of circumstances?
5. What were your initial thoughts about Brenda? Did you think that she was flirting with Abram? And if so, did you feel bad later in the story when you realized that Brenda is a genuine person who is kind and loyal? Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation, judging a person before you really know him or her?
6. If you could ‘be’ any one of the characters and rewrite the story to accommodate or illustrate their hidden emotions, who would you choose and why?
