Synopsis

One spring afternoon in 1990, writer and mother Avra Wing, while holding her young son, is crushed by an out-of-control car careening onto the sidewalk near her Brooklyn home. Avra manages to hold on to her little boy, who is physically unharmed. She loses her right leg.

Stride is an unflinchingly honest account of living with sudden disability in a world designed for the able-bodied. Wing writes with poetic intimacy about her experience navigating the physical and emotional obstacles to recovery, her friends’ and family’s reactions to her injury, and the hard-won wisdom gained from learning that if you reach out your hand, someone will take it. Chronicling personal loss but also triumph—including adopting her third child—she tells a powerful story of recovery and resilience.

Stride illuminates how a radically altered life path can lead from tragedy and loss to community, connection, and joy.
