With remarkable candour, she reveals the mental and physical challenges that tested her resolve, from battling an eating disorder to pushing through the gruelling demands of elite competition.

This compelling memoir goes beyond the medal ceremony to explore what it truly means to be brave—not just on the slopes, but in confronting personal demons and embracing vulnerability.
