    How does a girl with congenital defects in her legs born to a teenage mother in Siberia become one of the most decorated female athletes in US history? And what does that same young woman, achieving unprecedented success in Paralympics swimming, do when she realizes that despite the outward honors and endorsements deals, she’s still filled with anger and brokenness on the inside?
    Such is Jessica Long’s story. Told with her trademark passion and energy, her journey shows a love that conquers anger and brings her a bigger triumph than any of her gold medals.

    There's nothing about her I would change. Her history built her tough. Her heart softens her soul. 😇

    I’m so touched by the honesty and humility of this young woman. She was angry about her adoption and her leg surgeries. Meeting her birth parents and forgiving them for giving her up for adoption was her turning point. After that meeting and change of heart, she let go and let God. Thank you for sharing your story. I needed your message today.

    You're a beautiful soul, with a big heart for Christ. Without our faith, we have nothing. I know the freedom of a tough forgiveness process. My story is different, but forgiveness is crucial to healing. God embraces us, as we cry and forgive.
    Be well and faithful, my dear, because God loves us and knows exactly what we need.

    Who the hell would ever give this story a thumbs down is an asshole. Who would do such a thing? But as an atheist..you are giving a non-existent god the credit when it was YOU who had done it. You are the God. YOU did all of those amazing things on your own by simply pushing forward in your life. No one needs credit but YOU. I wish people could see this. Pat yourself on the back, mama.
