This book is one of the best autobiographies I have read. It impresses with Cathy’s obvious honesty, humility, determination and courage as we read in her own words, the story of her life from childhood to Australian icon.
I would suggest that almost everyone in Australia has heard of Cathy Freeman and her gold-winning run at the Sydney Olympic Games. But there is so much more to the character of Cathy that makes her unique. This book is full of passion, humour, stubbornness, challenge and inspiration.
Cathy is totally honest about her problems, relationships, emotional turmoil, mistakes and triumphs throughout her life. She talks openly about her great love for her family and their love and support of her, explains the circumstances behind her retirement decision and of many other happenings that most of us never knew about.
Reading this book also makes one very aware of her sensitivity, her loving heart and her great compassion for children and young people, both of Aboriginal and non-aboriginal descent. It also gives a brief look at what goes on behind the scenes of competitive athletics. A most fascinating read.
The dedication in the front of the book reads :- “ For children everywhere - have the courage to follow your dreams “.
