Jessica and Rosa have something very important in common.... they're both bound to their wheelchairs. Rosa's experience and understanding is a great thing for Jessica, but the two soon forge a close friendship based upon far more than their conditions. Over the course of the novel, we see Jessica suprpass Rosa's physical capabilities, but nothing diminishes the friendship they've acquired.
