IN A SINGLE BOUND chronicles the story of how a feisty
little girl from Long Island became possibly the world's
most recognized disabled sports figure. 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's 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.
