Synopsis

Priscilla "Altoid" Giddings grew up in wild and scenic Idaho where she came from a heritage of strong women. Priscilla became a world champion powerlifter as a teenager, attended the United States Air Force Academy, and completed one of the world's toughest fighter-pilot training programs. Her experiences of developing physical strength, personal strength, and strength of character inspired her to continue serving in the fight for freedom at home as an Idaho state legislator. Her story flies you through the thrills of shooting a 30-millimeter cannon and the anguish of losing comrades in combat. You'll be inspired to build strength in your own life as you live through her experiences where she humbly bares the fears, pain, and trials of building courage, character, and strength. If you know a women on a journey of building strength, you'll want to share Priscilla's story of becoming "Curiously Strong."
