There’s something special about reading a story that reminds you what resilience truly looks like, and that’s exactly how I felt after finishing Jordan Chiles’ book.
From the very first chapter, I was pulled into her journey—learning about her childhood, the many challenges she faced, and the mental and emotional hurdles she had to overcome. What stood out to me most was her strength. No matter what life placed in front of her, Jordan stayed focused, kept believing in herself, and continued to push forward. That kind of determination is inspiring and a reminder that staying strong through difficult seasons can lead to something amazing.
Another part of the book I truly loved was seeing the friendship and sisterhood Jordan shared with “Simone Biles” and the rest of the team. Their bond really stood out to me—they stuck together, cheered each other on, supported one another, and stayed present through all the ups and downs. That kind of friendship and team unity is powerful, especially in such a high-pressure world.
I also loved reading about the strong support system she had from her family. Having family there to encourage, uplift, and believe in you makes such a difference, and it was beautiful to see how much that support helped shape her journey.
For me, this book was an easy 5 out of 5 stars. It’s honest, motivating, and full of moments that make you reflect on perseverance, growth, and believing in your purpose.
What made this read even more meaningful is that it brought back a full-circle moment for me. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to feature Jordan in my magazine, Where It Begins, and seeing how far she has come since then makes me even prouder of her journey. Watching her continue to rise, inspire others, and share her truth with the world is beautiful to witness.
If you love stories of strength, perseverance, and overcoming the odds, I definitely recommend adding this book to your reading list.
