“Companions in Courage” Released by Warner
Books in Paperback
Meet the Real Heroes - On and Off the Field
After a catastrophic injury, NHL great Pat
LaFontaine was forced to leave the sport he
loved. Now LaFontaine returns to the spotlight
not as an athlete but as a teller of true
stories-of men, women, and children who have
triumphed against all odds.
COMPANIONS IN COURAGE
The athletes in this book have all faced
incredible obstacles. In stories that will
change the way you think about victory and
defeat, here are the inspirational battles waged
by Aimee Mullins, whose legs were amputated as
an infant but whose spirit carried her to a
career as a runner and fashion model; and those
of Aaron Graves, a gifted high school soccer
player who faced death head-on while showing his
teammates the way to win at sports and in life.
From children facing devastating diseases to
such well-known top athletes as Mario Lemieux
and Michelle Akers, COMPANIONS IN COURAGE
delivers a powerful message to us all: that even
in our darkest moments, none of us must remain
alone.
