Fans can dive into the athlete’s life as she grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, where she discovered her love for the pool and, with it, swimming. The memoir retells her life straight through Ledecky herself, including all the trials and tribulations she encounters to make her to becoming an Olympic gold medalist.

The book was originally published June 11 and includes her perspective of almost all the Olympics she’s competed in, including in London, Rio and Tokyo.
