An inspiring memoir of courage, spirit, and determination
Sarah Reinertsen was born with a congenital birth defect. At the age of seven, her leg was amputated. At the age of thirteen, she broke the 100-meter world record for female above-the-knee amputees. At the age of thirty, she became the first female leg amputee to complete the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. A year later, in CBS s reality television show The Amazing Race 10, she scaled the Great Wall of China. This book tells her story.
