surviving sexual assault and a toxic gymnastics culture

Summary

At two, Haines didn't know that she would be committing to twenty-one years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance-- and that she faced serious injury, emotional distress, and continuous sexual assault. Here she details her experiences as a competitive gymnast and the painful realities of being one of Nassar's many victims. While examining a dangerously toxic culture that needs to be fixed, she tells how faith, family, and an army of survivors made healing possible. -- adapted from jacket
