Lindsey Vonn

This biography of Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn delves into the childhood, lifestyle, and career of arguably the most accomplished skier in American history. Vonn has won three consecutive World Cup championships and earned an Olympic gold medal in 2010. Her rise to stardom has been bumpy, with two critical obstacles that have tested her multiple times during her career: her turbulent and now estranged relationship with her father, and the many physical injuries sustained because of her notoriously brash style on the slopes​. The book discusses the accident that crushed her dream of medaling in the 2006 Olympics and how she overcame this misfortune to win gold in 2010.
