This is a very beautiful inspirational story. What I love from Sarah's life is her choosing to go for the best versions of her dreams and aspirations despite the life troubles when growing up. Definitely, this will be a good read. Congratulations on BOTD!

Amazing story of an athlete which inspires thousands of people at once.There was a saying “What happens, happens for the best” just like that the whole story elaborates the journey from hardship to success.

The account captures Sarah's experiences growing up in a supportive, lovely family and the impacts these had on shaping her career and breakthroughs; her experiences battling bullying, sickness, and injuries; and her relationship and subsequent marriage to her husband, Barnaby Storey.
- She had a disability(a deformity in her left arm) and maybe that's why family and everyone was so supportive, or maybe they anyway saw her potential and supported her. That doesn't mean that people without disabilities shouldn't be supported. She was also bullied and had sickness etc too & she was lucky to be supported for those too. This is an inspirational story and I would like to read more. Thank you for an eye opening review.

Dame Sarah seems to have had it all going for her at home. The bullying seems to be a dark time in her growing up. However, she was able to make something great out of her life. She is a shinning example for many women.
