5.0 out of 5 stars INSPIRATIONAL 16 July 2012
By roseyh
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the book after hearing a radio discussion about how "looked after" children are currently being failed. I wanted to know more after Fatima spoke unemotionally but so movingly about her childhood, the facts of which the majority of people knowing her just as an athlete would have been completely unaware. The tragedy is that so little seems to have changed for these children but Fatima can be proud of the fact that she is a role model for anyone who says it is impossible to overcome disadvantage and deprivation. Her book is non sensational but shocking and should be required reading for Social Workers, Foster Parents as well as teenagers wondering if their lives are over before they have even begun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic inspirational story 12 July 2012
By Runner100
Format:Kindle Edition
What a fantastic and inspirational book! Beautifully written, Fatima's story describes her tragic upbringing as a child but despite the adversities she encountered, still had the courage and ambition to follow her dreams and carve out a fantastic career as an international athlete. Her story is both remarkable and uplifting! A must read!
