Sally and her dog Tucker often sit on a hill overlooking the water and watch her friends sailing their boats. But instead of joy and pleasure, the sight fills her with pain and anger, because Sally is sitting in a wheelchair as a result of a car accident. At the doctor's office, Sally meets a brave man who has discovered that his wheelchair need not be a prison, and Tucker finds a little duck with a broken wing hiding in the yard. These two new unlikely friends teach Sally that with help from others, a determination to succeed, and lots of hard work, miracles can happen.
