CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED

“Startlingly frank, at times wrenching, Jeremiah Brown's account of his journey to an Olympic medal is an inspiration--not just for athletes but for anyone who is facing a challenge they think is insurmountable.”

Tom McCarthy, Bestselling Author and Editor
Award-Winning Author, and Editor of Facing Ali, a Sports Illustrated Top Book of the Year

“Jeremiah Brown is a badass athlete with the soul of a writer. This is not your average, sanitized account of the path to Olympic glory--it's a brutally honest, funny, and at times horrifying book about what it really takes to change your own life.”

Kate Fillion, Bestselling Author
Kate Fillion is the bestselling author of The Darkest Dark and How We Can Win
