Summary:

AN INSPIRING MEMOIR FOR ANYBODY WHO’S BEEN KNOCKED DOWN AND CAME UP SWINGING

As a girl growing up in Newberg, Oregon, Paige Sletten was all energy and full of potential. An all natural athlete, Paige excelled at dancing, produced the cheerleading squad earlier than most, and even had aspirations of becoming a Disney child star. With a tight-knit family, Paige’s life was on the right track for greatness. After that, one fateful fall evening in high school, everything transformed when Paige faced a life-threatening about Rise: Making it through the Fight of MY ENTIRE LIFE sexual assault. It had been in the gym where she ‘pounded the life span out of these ashen thoughts,’ becoming stronger with every punch, kick, and lunge. With this beautiful tale of success, she writes:

I inhale the energy.

I exhale the bullshit.

One strike at the same time.

Fighting became Paige’s safe and sound haven; something to live for, and Rise is the motivating story of how she eventually transformed right into a bone-breaking, head-smashing fighter referred to as Paige VanZant. It’s the deeply shifting story of a warrior who transformed her pain into power and has become one of the toughest ladies in the world; an uplifting journey of someone who was knocked down in one of the most damaging way and arrived up swinging.
