The Long Program : Skating Toward Life's Victories by Fleming, Peggy with Peter Kaminsky - 1999

NY: Pocket Books, 1999. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. From the book, ""Peggy's [Peggy Fleming] toughest challenge came thirty years after she won the gold medal. In 1988, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through it all, Peggy always maintained poise, confidence, and her acute sense of self. Demonstrating why these attributes are essential to achieving any goal, she relates how every person's life has its own version of a long program, those precious years that take little girls and turn them into wives, mothers, grandmas, and survivors. And she shows how making a plan and then reacting to the twists and turns of reality is what skating is all about and what her life is all about."" Hard cover in very good condition. Text block clean and tight. No marking noted. Dust jacket in likewise very good condition. No defects to note.
