Sonia Leiderman e o doamnă corpolentă de statură medie. Sonia e o persoană cu necesități speciale. Unul din picioarele ei a fost amputat mai sus de genunchi. Ea nu poate merge şi se mișcă prin apartamentul său în cărucior. E o femeie foarte sociabilă şi plină de energie. Ea ușor se amuză şi îi place să spună glume. Ea a terminat doar trei clase de școală dar are o minte lucidă şi ageră. M-a surprins prin profunzimea gândirii şi claritatea expresiilor sale. Ea locuiește împreună cu fiica sa, care se îngrijește de ea. Fiica Sonei şi ginerele ei sunt la serviciu şi Sonia se simte singuratică. Îi place să-mi povestească despre viața sa şi s-a simțit fericită să aibă pe cineva care s-o asculte şi cu care să vorbească. Cei care au mai multe motive pentru a fi optimiști cu siguranță că o vor invidia pe Sonia pentru optimismul ei şi simțul umorului.
