Given that, I’m surprised that the last third of the novel goes by so quickly, and I read most of it in an afternoon. Perhaps the first 70 pages are such a challenge because of its focus is in gymnasts’ terms. Despite this, I did find this a really hard read to get “into.” The style is easy reading, but I did have to push myself to read more than a chapter or two at a time. Within these pages, she shares about how she challenges her faith in an honest way that makes the reader believe she has a daily walk with Him. Perhaps the most insightful parts of this book is Shawn’s profession of her faith. I’d wager anyone who reads this will learn a lot of things about Shawn. My reader preference is fiction but I don’t regret having read this book. It’s rare that I read books in which there’s a celebrity name. About her maturity and her faith the lessons life has taught her and getting back to the place where she is happier and healthy. A book she writes for her fans about her life so far. Her book, Winning Balance, is a journal of sorts. If her name is not familiar from the sport she excels in, then you probably “met” her on the eighth season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars (which she also did win). There probably aren’t many of us who have don’t know of the pint-sized, heart and gold-medal-winning gymnast from the 2008 Olympic Games.
