Résumé :
AN INSPIRING MEMOIR FOR ANYONE WHO'S BEEN KNOCKED DOWN AND CAME UP SWINGING

As a young girl growing up in Newberg, Oregon, Paige Sletten was all energy and full of potential. A natural athlete, Paige excelled at dancing, made the cheerleading squad earlier than most, and even had aspirations of becoming a Disney child star. With a tight-knit family, Paige's life was on track for greatness. Then, one fateful fall night in high school, everything changed when Paige faced a life-threatening sexual assault. It was in the gym where she pounded the life out of those ashen memories, becoming stronger with every punch, kick, and lunge. In this beautiful tale of survival, she writes:

I exhale the bullshit.
One strike at a time.

Fighting became Paige's safe haven...
