Summary
Penny Lamb wakes up after a devastating rollercoaster accident and discovers that she is the luckiest girl on the planet, an assumption backed up by a fascinated team of doctors at the Uranium City Hospital after she survives her almost decapitation, a medical mystery that stuns all of her caretakers.
But Penny doesn't feel lucky, even when she rubs her neck scar like it's a holy rabbit's foot — her spine is in agony, her head is near constantly pounding, she has night terrors of people she doesn't remember and of an incident she can only recall in dreams, and she does not know a thing about herself that isn't given to her through experience.
Armed with teenage misery, curiosity and a metallic taste of blood in her mouth that never seems to go away, Penny isn't trying to find out who she was, what her purpose is or even why she was blessed with this unlucky survival — she's simply trying to build herself anew, and try to live as well as she can with one cent to her name. But she finds that it's not easy to live alone, and it's not easy to stay alone, and that sometimes the battle you have to fight isn't your own.
