Fanciful dreams of gold-medal glory led Jennifer Sey to the
local gymnastics club in 1976. A natural aptitude and a willingness
to endure punishing hard work took her to the elite ranks by the
time she was eleven years old. Jennifer traveled the country and
the world competing for the U.S. National team, but the higher she
set her sights--the world championships, the 1988 Olympics--the
more she began to ignore her physical and mental well-being.
Jennifer suffered devastating injuries, developed an eating
disorder, and lived far from family and friends, all for the sake
of winning. When her parents and coaches lost sight of her best
interests, Jennifer had no choice but to redefine her path into
adulthood. She had to save herself.
Chalked Up delivers an unforgettable coming-of-age story that
will resonate with anyone who has ever felt not good enough and has
finally come to accept who they were meant to be.
