Summary: Those who get back up, time and time again, will be rewarded. When Emma Twigg started rowing it was difficult and not always fun. But as she stuck at it, she grew to become a world-class rower. So, winning an Olympic medal would be easy, right? Wrong. This is a remarkable true story of a young New Zealand rower who, over twenty years, proved she was more than worthy of victory. And how resilience, hard graft, teamwork and self-belief will ultimately bring home gold. (Publisher)
