This is Torah's heartfelt account of growing up in a close-knit Mormon family. In it she charts the highs and lows of her professional snowboarding career, during which she became the first Australian snowboarder to be awarded a Gold medal in the Winter Olympics for her sport. She talks about the serious head injury that threatened to end Torah's snowboarding career, the relationship with her brother and coach, Ben; her short marriage to American pro snowboarder Jake Welch; and losing her friend, Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke.

Born and raised in Cooma at the base of the Snowy Mountains, Torah Bright was on skis at the age of two, snowboarding at 11, and had turned professional by the time she was 14.
