"Since winning an Olympic silver medal in 1994, Street has been the most interesting personality in a sport desperately lacking for charisma. The story she tells is an entertaining portrait of her eccentricities, insecurities, mind-boggling crashes, and triumphs." --Philip Hersh, Chicago Tribune "Once you read Street's new autobiography, you understand how she did it . even a fraction of her life would make for an interesting story." --David King, San Antonio Express-News "I learned what all girls need to learn: that you can fight to win, and you should never be ashamed of it. Don't let anything slow you down." --Picabo Street Patriot, tomboy, household name, Olympic champion . the irrepressible young woman who took the slopes--and our hearts--by storm in what is often called the NASCAR of winter sports is golden once again and ready to reveal the trials and triumphs of a life already marked by stunning victory, wrenching defeat, and magnificent mental and physical resilience.
With unflinching honesty, Picabo Street shares her coming-of-age experience, revealing how adversity shaped a rebellious tomboy into a champion and a compassionate woman, in harmony with her family, at peace with her fear of failure, and having come to terms with the body-image issues faced by every girl. Above all, Picabo: Nothing to Hide is the story of a girl from a tiny community called Triumph--who grew up to do just that.
