Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have sampled it so far and I do usually like books that are memoirs and where people outshine what others might think they can do. Having such a supportive family always seems to help. But to be multi-talented is amazing. After reading your review I have added it to my list of books to read.

I love memiors as well as biographies so this is definitely something I delve into soon enough. Sarah sounds like one remarkable woman and a person we can learn from. No matter what life gave her she never gave up, which is inspiring to say the least. Thanks for a heartfelt review. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.

The books looks like a wonderful biography that details the life of Dame Sarah Storey, who won multiple gold medals in the Paralympic Games for swimming and cycling, and includes how she was raised in a supportive environment which helped her career among other things. As I am not a huge fan of biographies, I think I will skip the book for now. Thank you for your review!
