About this title

Synopsis

An inspiring memoir of courage, spirit, and determination

Touching, funny, and honest, In a Single Bound is the story of how a feisty little girl from Long Island became one of the world�s most famous disabled sports figures. A world-class athlete and a celebrated television personality, Sarah Reinertsen not only takes us to the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii�she also provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at her season on CBS�s The Amazing Race 10, where millions saw her climb up the Great Wall of China, scale the cliffs of Vietnam, and ride horses in the hinterlands of Mongolia.

But In a Single Bound is about more than sports and television. A gripping memoir of inner strength, it�s about a one-legged child trying to fit in with her two-legged friends. It�s about an adolescent girl mustering the inner strength to go stag to her senior prom. It�s about a woman who dared to fear less and live more.
