Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered several copies of this book, as I have many visitors. My visitors have insisted on taking copies home to share this heartfelt story with others. Haley is an inspiration to all of us. This book is what life is all about. Family, friends, faith, hope and determination. And, the humor, when you least expect it, is very uplifting. Thank you for sharing such an emotional story.
Summary of What Though the Odds
When Dick Rosenthal retired as athletic director in 1995 after a lifetime of service to the University of Notre Dame, he was asked about the most memorable moment during his tenure. Without hesitation, the chief of sports at America's most storied university replied, Haley Scott. When the Notre Dame women's swim team suffered a fatal bus crash, the lives of those on the bus, their families, and the community were changed forever. Paralyzed after the accident, Haley Scott was told she would never walk again. That was unacceptable to her. With the help of those who cared most about her - her family, her school and her teammates - she chose a different fate and promised not only to walk, but to swim again for the Fighting Irish.General Books
