This movie was made very uniquely...in that Joni Earickson played herself (while she was paralysed, as you might guess).
Her two autobiographies (she has written other books also) are "Joni" and "Choices, Changes". The first bis what the movie is based on, the second is about her time making the movie and meeting her now-husband of 15+ years.
The movie shows Joni jump into a lake, then brake her neck. It follows her struggles with being sorry for herself and her rise to become an internationally renowned speaker. She also is a strong Christian. Her faith acts as a thread, tying her struggles and triumphs together.
If you want drama, you've got it. Suspense, you've got it.
Romance? - here it is
Directed with heart and a taste for what real living is....
