The Summer Olympics seem in the distant past, but we haven’t forgotten the amazing, star gymnast Gabby Douglas who won the gold along with all our hearts.  She has co-authored an autobiography about her rise to the pinnacle of Olympic history which is enjoyable and inspiring.  Particularly recommended for young adults as encouragement to keep on pursueing their dreams, Gabby tells her story of sacrifice with little negativity.  She shares her families history of struggle when they lived in their car and had nothing, the endless practice,the  sacrifice of her sisters who gave up their own loves of ballroom dancing and ice skating, and the neglect of her father- her biggest hurt.  She gives credit to her families faith in God and their love as the biggest factors in her successful rise to stardom.
