Eighteen-year-old Carissa Schultz is determined to change the world as she begins her pre-law studies, despite the challenges of living with spina bifida. When she meets Isaac Carter in her college algebra class, she finds someone who sees past her wheelchair to the passionate advocate within. As their relationship blossoms, Carissa faces unexpected medical complications that threaten not only her education but her life.
During her recovery, a chance encounter with a mother whose child has spina bifida ignites a fire within Carissa. She discovers that doctors are still giving parents the same bleak, outdated prognosis her own parents received eighteen years ago-that children with spina bifida won't survive or will live severely impaired lives. With unwavering determination, Carissa embarks on a mission to create legislation requiring doctors to provide accurate, updated information about life with spina bifida.
As Carissa builds a coalition of advocates and navigates the complex world of lawmaking, she and Isaac face the challenges of a new relationship while fighting for a cause bigger than themselves. Through faith, family support, and unexpected alliances, Carissa discovers her voice and purpose, transforming personal adversity into a powerful movement for truth and dignity.
Based on the author's own experiences, Carissa's Law is an empowering story of faith, love, and advocacy that challenges perceptions about disability and the value of every human life. If you enjoyed Wonder, Me Before You, and The Fault in Our Stars, you'll love Carissa's Law.
