This was a great book! I found myself intrigued by the depth of the characterization and the obsession of each of the main characters as they pursued their dreams. The author did a great job of drawing me in, rooting for them, crying with them in their pain and understanding the drive of each of them. I am particularly impressed by the detail and description of what it takes not only to be an Olympian but also a champion in the realm of relationships. I LOVED and was surprised by a twist about halfway through regarding motherhood. This is a fine book. The author stopped me, often, for his phrasing, his metaphors and his intense research! OH! I am awe of some of the descriptions on a cellular level -- what happens to an athlete while they push limits of their own body and what happens to a cancer patient who is fighting for their lives. I would definitely read any book by this author!
