After more than a decade in the gruelling world of professional sports that stripped away her confidence and bruised her… body, Clara Hughes began to realize that her physical extremes, her emotional setbacks, and her partying habits were masking a severe depression. After winning bronze in the last speed skating race of her career, she decided to retire from that sport, determined to repair herself. She has emerged as one of our most committed humanitarians, advocating for a variety of social causes in Canada and around the world. Bestseller. 2015.
