 AN INSPIRING MEMOIR FOR ANYONE WHO'S BEEN KNOCKED DOWN AND CAME UP SWINGING

As a young girl growing up in Newberg, Oregon, Paige Sletten was all energy and full of potential. A natural athlete, Paige excelled at dancing, made the cheerleading squad earlier than most, and even had aspirations of becoming a Disney child star. With a tight-knit family, Paige's life was on track for greatness. Then, one fateful fall night in high school, everything changed when Paige faced a life-threatening sexual assault. It was in the gym where she "pounded the life out of those ashen memories," becoming stronger with every punch, kick, and lunge. In this beautiful tale of survival, she writes:

I inhale the power.
I exhale the bullshit.
One strike at a time.

Fighting became Paige's safe haven; something to live for, and Rise is the inspiring story of how she ultimately transformed into a bone-breaking, head-smashing fighter known as Paige VanZant. It is the deeply moving story of a warrior who transformed her pain into power and has become one of the toughest women in the world; an inspiring journey of someone who was knocked down in the most devastating way and came up swinging.

Overall this book was ok, it really showcases the cruelty we humans can show to each other.. being a victim myself of bullying, this definitely resonated - I had no idea PVZ went through this and I feel for her, that type of treatment can cause so many issues within us & she shared her story, warts and all.. I would have liked to here these boys were charged as they should pay for what they did... this book ended pretty abruptly leaving a lot of unanswered questions as well as it seems to leave a lot of her "story" out.. her fall from fighting grace, her decision to do OF and what that was like considering her past and what she has endured, seems kinda counter intuitive. overall though, I enjoyed the book, it held my interest, glad to see she did in fact rise above all the negativity and cruelty.
