When she took three silver medals in Beijing--including a heartbreaking .01-second finish behind the gold medalist in the women's 50-meter freestyle--America loved her all the more for her astonishing achievement and her good-natured acceptance of the results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, in \u003ci\u003eAge Is Just a Number, \u003c\/i\u003e Dara reveals how the dream of an Olympic comeback first came to her--when she was months into her first, hard-won pregnancy. With humor and candor, Dara recounts how she returned to serious training--while nursing her infant daughter and contending with her beloved father's long battle with cancer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDara talks frankly about diving back in for this comeback; about being an older athlete in a younger athletes' game; about competition, doubt, and belief; about working through pain and uncertainty; and finally--about seizing the moment and, most important, never giving up. A truly self-made legend, her story will resonate with women of all ages--and with anyone daring to entertain a seemingly impossible dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dara Torres, Elizabeth Weil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0767931912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767931915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Dara Torres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926001418495,"sku":"9780767931915","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f307c713-7eba-4a26-97e7-afeaf3805ec7.jpg?v=1681080615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/age-is-just-a-number-dara-torres-9780767931915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
