Jessica Hardy is one of the world's greatest athletes. She's set world records and broken her own records time and time again. Then came the trial of a lifetime when she failed a drug test and was banned from Olympic competition. The rumors swarmed all around her. Critics who felt she had come too far, too fast, touted the findings as proof of their doubts. She was mocked and demeaned by the media. The only thing missing was Jessica's side of the story. Jessica set out on a seemingly impossible mission to prove her innocence and to regain her rightful status as a respected World Champion. The task was daunting and the odds were stacked against her. This book covers her journey from trials to triumph, from wounds to wisdom, and from setbacks to comebacks. You know her name, but you won't know her true story until you've read this book.
