Synopsis

In this courageous memoir, Meredith Thornton shares with heart-wrenching honesty how childhood messages of unworthiness, beaten into her by an abusive stepfather, led to four relationships marked by devastating domestic violence. Yet, somehow, somewhere, there was still something left inside her that drove Thornton to believe that she was worth more-even after four decades of being told otherwise. In her forties, Thornton, now a mother of four, sought support that started her on the journey of rewiring her thinking and healing her self-esteem. A passion for endurance sports also ignited within her. Even while battling breast cancer, this passion drove Thornton to continue training and competing, first in marathons, then in triathlons. Now, as a breast cancer survivor, she is a contender in Ironman events-grueling contests that require her to swim, bike, and run 140.6 miles in under seventeen hours! Thornton's story of courage, strength, and overcoming overwhelming obstacles is inspiring proof of the resilience of the human spirit and that our past, no matter how broken, does not have to define our present.
