On this episode of Our American Stories, when Mississippi native Madysen Acey was ten years old, an electrical accident led to the loss of both her arms. In a single day, her life shifted from school and friends to surgery, rehabilitation, and learning how to function without hands.

Madysen reflects on what it meant to grow up as a bilateral amputee and how that experience shaped her sense of identity, and her deep faith.
