The passionate, poignant, and triumphant story of two-time
Olympic gold medal–winning beach volleyball icon Misty
May-Treanor.More than any Olympics in history, the 2008
Beijing Summer Games captured the world’s imagination, and
Misty May-Treanor became one of the biggest U.S. stars on
the global stage. Now she shares the story of her life and
remarkable athletic career.Destined for beach volleyball
superstardom, having been raised on famed Muscle Beach in
Santa Monica, California, Misty talks about the personal and
professional challenges she has faced and the life lessons
she has learned in the process. From growing up with two
driven, competitive, accomplished athlete parents and living
in a volatile household rocked for years by their alcoholism
to the heartbreaking death of her mother from cancer, Misty
reveals intimate details never before publicly discussed.
She tells behind-the-scenes stories about her eight-year
climb to the top of beach volleyball with partners Holly
McPeak and Kerri Walsh; her career-threatening injuries; her
role on ABC’s hit television show Dancing with the Stars;
and of course, her historic two Olympic gold medals and the
special rewards they’ve brought. Offering an unprecedented
glimpse into the life of a cherished celebrity sports icon
and an ambassador for women’s athletics, Misty will touch,
inspire, and empower readers everywhere.
