Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sarah Reinertsen not only has an incredible story to tell but she's also an amazing person. She had a difficult childhood both physically and emotionally and yet she never let that hold her back from following her passion. Her memoir reveals some of the intimate details in her life and also gives an inside look into "The Amazing Race" as well as what it's like to compete in the Ironman. Her narrative includes very real moments of devastation, which make the triumphs all that much more gratifying. She doesn't hold anything back--and her brutal honesty makes you feel even closer to her and root for her. In today's world, it's so refreshing to read about someone who doesn't think she's entitled but who has real strength and courage and a desire to be her best and help others. She's a real role model for women and young girls everywhere. I can't wait to see what she tackles next!

Not only will Sarah take readers on two trips to the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii (one agonizing and one triumphant), but she'll also blow the lid off of reality television with her behind-the-scenes look at her season on CBS' The Amazing Race, where tens of millions of viewers saw her climb up the Great Wall of China, scale the cliffs of Vietnam, and ride horses in the hinterlands of Mongolia. But "In a Single Bound" is about more than sports and television. It's about a one-legged child trying to fit in with her two-legged friends. It's about an adolescent girl mustering the inner strength to go stag to her senior prom. It's about a young woman dealing with body image issues that would turn your typical Gossip Girl into a blubbering mess. It's a universal story that will appeal to anyone who wants to fear less and live more. Sarah Reinertsen's gripping tale of inner strength, optimism, and mounting the seemingly insurmountable will inspire readers to feel as if they can do anything.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
