5Very Inspiring Book  Jun 13, 2007
By J. Sanders
This book is all about believing in yourself and achieving goals. It is a well written story of an ordinary woman who's life had many extra challenges. She found ways to overcome the difficult things that came her way and showed that anything is possible. Her life takes several exciting and interesting paths! She is a inspiration to others especially to athletes!

5Excellent read!  Jul 31, 2007
By James R. Carlson
An interesting and intimate account of a woman discovering her dream and then remaining focused on it, until she fianlly achieves it,.. overcoming along the way, many challenges and heartbreaks in her personal and family life. It includes many valuable life lessons, and principles of success. This book was an inspiration to me!

5Everything is possible!!  Jun 19, 2007
By S. Allen
I love this book!! Although I am not an athlete I found the author's story very fascinating and inspiring. You don't need to be an athlete to understand her message: Everything is possible if you believe in yourself.

I can only recommend this book!!

1New age BS!  Feb 24, 2009
By Robert Jacob "book-scout"
I bought this book to read about her struggles to qualify for the Hawaii Ironman. She spends much of the book talking about her alcoholic husband, and it comes out that he sexually abused their daughter. But I swear, this woman has never come across a new age, metaphysical hog-wash that she hasn't bought into. Whether it's gems, people running their hands over her to measure her chakras to tell her what minerals she's missing, people sending her reiki energy over long distances, past life regressions, guardian angels, you name it. I found myself rolling my eyes pretty regularly throughout the book. She's pretty much a flake. There is some talking of training and racing, but this stuff has very little detail. I was completely disappointed by this book. If you are looking for a book about training/racing the Ironman, you will probably want to look elsewhere.
