Non-Fiction Memoir
When Bethany Hamilton lost her arm in the fall of 2003 to a
shark attack, it looked as if the career of one of the
country's top amateur surfers was over. But just ten weeks
later, she returned to competition in her native Hawaii,
vowing never to give up the sport she loves. She has since
earned an indelible place in America's heart by making
appearances on 20/20, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno, and a host of other venues. Now, in Soul
Surfer, this extraordinary fourteen-year-old recounts her
incredible, harrowing story in her own unforgettable voice. Bethany has already lived more than a lifetime's worth of
triumph and tragedy, and she shares every poignant moment in
these pages. Readers learn how she rose once again to the
challenges of competition after a life-changing event, how
she dealt with the maelstrom of media attention, and how she
relied on her faith and innate positive thinking to embrace
changes that would undo most people. Written with passion
and insight, and filled with thrilling moments of the sport
Bethany has come to personify, this is a portrait of
American heroism that will captivate readers of all ages.
