Left 15 years in a nursing home, Emily Mason is "accidentally" neglected into a hospital and meets a doctor who realizes she is more than a "vegetable." Gradual awakening to the world leaves her with the dilemma: institutional life, or a modicum of independence? New friends, new experiences, it can all seem like too much. But Emily's humor and toughness gives her the edge for survival. "Getting Life does an incredible job of acknowledging too often unheard voices...This is an excellent novel, the kind all of us writers aspire to produce.
