A natural athlete gifted with speed and driven by an insatiable need to win, she became the ultimate track and field sweetheart with everything—beauty, talent, major endorsements, a close family, Olympic fame, and a loving husband. But success masked the doubt, self-sabotage, and constant anxiety that plagued her. It wasn’t enough to win one race—Suzy had to win them all. During the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Suzy decided that she would rather stage a fall on the track than face defeat—a move that precipitated the end of her running career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut after living in the fast lane as a world-class athlete, a normal life in the Midwest was both mind-numbingly dull and frightening. Then, on a trip to Las Vegas, Suzy found the rush and excitement she needed to feel alive. Recreating herself as an in-demand escort, she lived a double life and began taking increasingly reckless chances. Until one day she discovered that all along she had been running from herself—and the secret pain of an undiagnosed mental illness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, thanks to meditation, therapy, and the support of her family, Suzy is building a better life, one day at a time. Sharing her story, she is determined to raise awareness, provide understanding, and offer hope to others coping with their own challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suzy Favor Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46896027402389,"sku":"9780062346209","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780062346209_9bcfd5ae-8cc4-46c2-958a-e5e07bfbe480.jpg?v=1776888509","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780062346209_fast-girl-a-life-spent-running-from-madness","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
