""Sport is so much more than a finish time or place. It can be a place of personal redemption where pain from the past is purged and the missing pieces of your soul are found. Lindsey Jacobs' life is one of those amazing stories. Her journey to a better place was paved through running thousands of steps and accomplishing one of the most amazing personal achievements in endurance sports: She became an Ironman finisher. She took that next step both on the racecourse and in her life. If you love sports, you will be mesmerized by her story. If you love life, she will inspire you forever."" Mark Allen, Six-Time Ironman Triathlon World Champion ""STRONGER opens as an engaging coming-of-age story that quickly evolves into an inspirational testament to the author's strength--not only outer strength, but her all-important inner strength. As a father of two beautiful daughters looking for some 'girl power' role models, Jacob's journey of self-discovery and self-worth is lesson well worth taking."" Chris Dowling, Writer and Director of Where Hope Grows, Run the Race ""The story of Lindsey Jacobs is one of courage and triumph. She has an honest, raw determination to be true to self. STRONGER is a lesson in perseverance. Thank you, Lindsey, for sharing your story and for always encouraging others."" Teri Griege, Author, Ironman, and Cancer Thriver ""STRONGER is the right book for right now. As we continue the much-needed balancing of gender bias in sports--and society at large--this memoir provides a fearless look at a bright life that was momentarily dimmed by loss, and how running and triathlon were the bright lights that carried her through. It's a good read--and a great message."" Brad Kovach, Editor/Publisher of Terrain Magazine ""Lindsey Jacobs' story is relatable at every turn. It shows readers that you can find strength and confidence in unexpected places if you have the courage to pursue a new challenge and adventure."" Emily Regan, 2016 Olympic Rowing Gold Medalist
