Courage and Honor, What's Great About Americans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
We know the outcome of the story of Vonetta Flowers and her bid for the gold in the 2-woman bobsled event. What makes this story sing is that Vonetta exemplifies true American spirit. Her dreams dashed that day on the track field, she tells the story of a support system, which lifted her--God, her husband, and that All-American spirit of when all seems hopeless, you dig in, you find another way. Vonetta's story is a great one to tell, and she and her co-author helped to paint it in our mind's eye. We need more Vonetta Flowers' stories. Makes you want to stand up and cheer!
