Instead, Pat Quintyne Hildebrand found herself drawn to a sport she had grown to love and a call to serve in a different, but meaningful way. In these memoirs, Pat recounts her carefree childhood growing up on a small island and her move to Canada and later to the U.S.A. She recalls in vivid detail the highlights and challenges of her life and sports career that took her from an old neighborhood warehouse gym with a broken elevator to the spotlight on a national team that helped shape her country’s history. She shares stories of special and unusual events and of friendships made, many of them lifelong friendships.\nShe relives the excitement of hard fought games and the disappointment of tough losses. Through sheer determination, she overcomes many barriers to make her way to the top in her chosen sport.\nThis American Immigrant memoir is a resounding example of the hard work and determination of a champion. For many reasons it is immortalized and enshrined in the Barack Obama Presidential Library, The U.S. Library of Congress, and the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0979496101\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0979496101.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hildebrand, Pat Quintyne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
