A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'A modern-day story of tragedy and triumph, featuring a pretty heroine, a magical setting and enough grit to shock, enthral and inspire audiences the world over'
Daily Telegraph
'A myth that happens to be true, of being swallowed by the monster and making an amazing escape. It's little short of a resurrection story, rising from a watery grave. And it is a good news story, of overcoming immense pain and suffering, of the inspirational kind'
Independent
They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the tremendous passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing - not even the loss of her arm in a horrific shark attack - could come between her and the waves? Soul Surfer is a moving account of Bethany's life as a young surfer, her recovering in the wake of the shark attack, her unprecedented bid for a top showing in the World Surfing Championships, and, most fundamentally, her belief in God. It is a story of girl power and spiritual grit that shows that the body is no more essential to surfing - perhaps even less so - than the soul.
'A rare exception to the rule that says never read an autobiography of someone under 25 . . . Remarkable'

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The bestselling inspirational story of the celebrated teenaged surfer girl who lost her arm in a near-fatal shark attack—and triumphantly returned to competitive surfing.

She lost her arm in a shark attack and nearly died, but she never lost her faith. In her #1 New York Times bestseller, Bethany Hamilton tells the moving story of her triumphant return to competitive surfing, which continues to inspire all who hear it.

They say Bethany Hamilton has salt water in her veins. How else could one explain the passion that drives her to surf? Or that nothing—not even the loss of her arm—could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded to the shark’s stealth attack with the calm of a teenage girl with God on her side, resolutely pushing aside her pain and panic while being rescued and brought back to shore. “When can I surf again?” was the first thing Bethany asked after her emergency surgery, leaving no doubt that her spirit and determination were part of a greater story—a tale of personal empowerment and spiritual grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfing, perhaps even less so, than the soul.
