Marney Cummings was invisible although the nineteen-year-old high school senior in a wheelchair was in plain sight, as she attended classes, roamed the halls of Burley High School, and ate lunch by herself in the cafeteria. Despite having lost her legs below the knees due to a terrible disease and had other compromising health challenges Marney was both smart and pretty.
She went unnoticed until Ben Howard, who had recently been dumped by his girlfriend, was desperate for a last-minute date to the prom. As he got to know her he discovered that this remarkable young woman had learned to compensate for her disability in remarkable ways. It is a story of young love and conversion. On the day of her baptism she did something never dreamed possible. Set in 1973 Marney, takes you back to simpler times with cool wheels, far out tunes, and groovy threads. |
