Description

Autobiographical account of Australian Olympic athletics champion Cathy Freeman. Written in five parts - the early years, making history, new directions, living the dream, and letting go. Discusses growing up black in a white world, her large and close-knit family, her complicated relationship with Nick Bideau, marriage to Sandy Bodecker and their painful separation, how it feels to represent your country, the price of fame, and the reasons behind her decision to retire. Includes colour photos and index. Gullan is an award-winning sports writer for Melbourne's 'Herald Sun'.
