Inhaltsangabe
Ob über die zahlreichen Medienberichte, 60-Minuten-Specials, Women's Weekly Coverstories oder ihr erstes Buch, Everything To Live For, wir wissen darüber, warum, wie und was von diesem Schicksalstag im September 2011 ist. Wir wissen, wie sie viermal auf dem Operationstisch starb und auf ihrem gewundenen Weg zur Genesung. Wir hatten einen Blick auf die Liebe ihres Freundes Michael, die sie gestützt hat, und haben Hinweise auf die innere Stärke gesehen, die sie zu einer der am meisten bewunderten Frauen des Landes gemacht hat. Aber bis jetzt sind die wahre Essenz dieses bemerkenswertesten Australiers, sowie die Mut, die ihr Unfall alle auf sie und ihre Umgebung genommen hat, ein Geheimnis geblieben. Wie und warum treibt sie sich an immer größere körperliche und geistige Grenzen? Was sieht sie, wenn sie in den Spiegel schaut? Wie sitzt ihre plötzliche Berühmtheit (aus den unorthodoxsten Gründen) bei ihr? Welche Lektionen hat sie in den letzten fünf Jahren gelernt? Und entscheidend, wie kann jeder von uns diese Lektionen nehmen und sie auf unser eigenes Leben anwenden? Mehr als eine einfache Chronologie von Ereignissen – und vor dem Hintergrund einer nie endenden Reihe beeindruckender körperlicher Leistungen, darunter das Klettern der Chinesischen Mauer, das Gehen auf der Kokoda-Strecke und die Teilnahme an nicht einem, sondern zwei Ironman-Wettbewerben – dieses Buch entdeckt die wirklich lustigen, wilden, intelligenten und fehlerhaften Mit dem Vorteil von h: Insight und fünf Jahre lang Weisheit zu erhalten, kann Turia erst jetzt erklären, wie sie sich dort durchgesetzt hat, wo andere ins Stocken geraten sind. Und zum ersten Mal lernen wir in diesem Buch die Menschen kennen, die – durch Turias eigenes Eingeständnis – ihre Genesung möglich gemacht haben. Unmasked wird die Frau hinter den Schlagzeilen enthüllen, und dabei die Anmut, den Humor und den inneren Stahl aufdecken, die Turia Pitt jeden Tag durchbringen – und die den Rest von uns in Staunen beobachten lässt.
