I really enjoyed reading such a moving story. Jump by Lydia Lassila really gave me a great insight into the ups and downs of an elite athlete. The story builds right through until it hits an amazing climax where she finally wins gold. Your heart races at this point as you feel as though you are there experiencing the joy that she desrcibes. Once starting to read the book, it was impossible to put down. Thank you Lydia for sharing your amazing story!07/12/2010
