A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

IN A SINGLE BOUND chronicles the story of how a feisty little girl from Long Island became possibly the world s most recognized disabled sports figure. Not only will Sarah take readers on two trips to the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii (one agonizing and one triumphant), but she ll also blow the lid off of reality television with her behind-the-scenes look at her season on CBS s The Amazing Race, where tens of millions of viewers saw her climb up the Great Wall of China, scale the cliffs of Vietnam, and ride horses in the hinterlands of Mongolia. But IN A SINGLE BOUND is about more than sports and television. It s about a one-legged child trying to fit in with her two-legged friends. It s about an adolescent girl mustering the inner strength to go stag to her senior prom. It s about a young woman dealing with body image issues that would turn your typical Gossip Girl into a blubbering mess. It s a universal story that will appeal to anyone who wants to fear less and live more. Sarah Reinertsen s gripping tale of inner strength, optimism, and mounting the seemingly insurmountable will inspire readers to feel as if they can do anything.
