Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton
Publisher: MTV Books (October 2004)
240 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $8.06)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
This is the story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who lost her arm to a shark at the age of 13, and her struggle to return to competitive surfing. This story is told in her own words and has heavy Evangelical Christian overtones, which didn’t bother me as much as they normally would have given the inspirational nature of the story itself. This book is written for a younger audience, but I think people of all ages could benefit from the positive attitude and determination of it’s central character, and the themes expressed throughout about overcoming adversity and trying not to worry about things you can’t control. Inspiring story of triumph!
