Publisher Description

Maggie Nichols’s official memoir is an inspirational tell-all about the abuse she suffered under the US national gymnastics team and how she managed to redefine herself in the face of adversity.

With an introduction from Simone Biles.

In 2015, Maggie Nichols’s gymnastics career was on fire.

Having trained most of her young life as an elite-level gymnast, Maggie carried the team all-around at the 2015 World Championships, helping to cinch the team gold medal. Next in her sights were the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She was eagerly looking forward to training for them along with teammates such as Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and Laurie Hernandez. But on the verge of achieving her lifelong Olympic dream, her world came crashing down.

That summer Maggie revealed to her coach that USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually abusing her and other athletes under his care. What followed was an extensive investigation that would capture the world’s attention and illuminate the trauma and massive cover-up behind the scenes of one of America’s most celebrated sports institutions.

Ultimately, Maggie would go on to become an eight-time NCAA champion and an outspoken advocate for the protection of young children, especially young athletes.

This inspirational memoir offers an intimate look into the world of elite gymnastics, the sexual abuse scandal that shattered lives and dreams, and how Maggie Nichols risked everything in the name of justice. Maggie now shares this story in her words: a story of hope, resilience, reclamation, and above all, triumph.
