'Lucky Girl' is the global journey of a Paralympic medalist
In the book, Lucky Girl, Paralympic medalist Scout Bassett says she felt lost until she found running.
Growing up, Scout Bassett felt like an outsider. Her earliest memories are from an orphanage in China, where she had to figure out how to live with a life-altering disability. She found kindness and hope when another girl offered Bassett help navigating the orphanage.
After Bassett was adopted by a family in the U.S., she felt had to navigate a new world and felt lost until she found running. Scout Bassett is a Paralympic medalist and now, she's sharing her story in. Bassett remembers her first race with a running prosthetic on, when she was 14 years old: "I was able to move faster than I ever had in my whole life. And so to wait that long to feel wind as you're moving was just incredible."
