It seems to Diana that the world was not designed for people like her, and she wonders whether living a fulfilling life is not something she
can realistically aspire to. Does she really have to accept this, and be content with her fate, or should she dare challenge this outlook and struggle to achieve what she wishes?
In order to answer this and other no less important questions about her life, she embarks on a journey of discovery which reveals unexpected things that she had ignored for years and years, as well as what happened to her the day she got polio.
The Next Bend in the Road takes the reader on a journey with twists and turns along the path of Diana's life, where old memories, long buried, come back to haunt her.
