Rachel Hines became another victim of Larry Nassar when she was just fourteen years old. Nassar told her that treatment for her injuries would be healed with "internal massaging" while also recommending that she not get an MRI for what would turn out to be a broken back so he could continue treating her. This man is disgusting. The more I learn about him, the more disgusted I become. Hines discusses why she trusted this man, which makes sense because most people trust doctors, coaches, teachers, and other authority figures. It is shameful that he used his position of power to manipulate and molest girls at will. Hines discusses the trauma she experienced at the hands of this vile creature, and how she worked through it. 

If you are looking for a shorter book, this one comes in at about 140 pages. I hate saying books like this are good reads, but it was certainly worth the time it took to read it, especially if you are a fan of gymnastics, or you have a child in the sport. This book provides some warning signs to look out for, while shedding light on a system and culture that is not about the athlete in the way it should be. I applaud Hines for speaking out about this issue, and hope that she is able to continue finding joy and healing in her life moving forward.
