Product Description
Product Description
Sara Hall's life seemed perfect: a wealthy husband, a big house in an affluent suburb, and three healthy children. But beneath the placid surface of Hall's life hid a marriage filled with sorrow and pain. One day, at age forty-two, Hall sees a lone figure rowing in the harbour and that image becomes her holy grail. The author tells how her determination to master rowing a single shell gave her the courage to free herself from the dark forces of abuse in her childhood and the failure of her marriage. Hall describes the rigours of rowing, the elation of winning, the joy of total engagement in a passionate enterprise, and the triumph of breaking free. Ultimately she declares sovereignty over her life and wins a world championship gold medal.
