An intimate diary that not only dissects Kim's season, but pulls the curtain back on LPGA Tour.

Swinging from My Heels is A Good Walk Spoiled meets Sex in the City. Christina Kim and Alan Shipnuck must have been separated at birth: the tell-it-all athlete and the tell-it-all writer. What a book." -- Michael Bamberger.
