📖 Description
"Just in time for the upsurge in 'girl power' books comes this insightful yet disturbing sports memoir of a former Arizona high-school track and cross country star who soars to first place in races but spirals downward in her battle to win acceptance among her male peers, and to avoid eating disorders and exercise compulsion, to overcome an unhappy home life (an alcoholic father) and a destructive, sexual relationship with an unethical coach. This is a well-written account of the pressures teenage athletes face that can lead to self-abuse and destruction." Booklist
