As a young girl growing up in Newberg, Oregon, Paige Sletten was all energy and filled with potential. A natural athlete, Paige excelled at dance, produced the cheerleading squad sooner than most, and even had aspirations of becoming a Disney child star. Having a tight-knit family members, Paige’s life was on the right track for greatness. Then, one fateful fall evening in high school, everything changed when Paige encountered a life-threatening about Rise: Making it through the Battle of My Life sexual assault. It had been in the gym where she ‘pounded the life span out of these ashen memories,’ becoming stronger with every punch, kick, and lunge. Within this beautiful tale of survival, she writes:
I inhale the energy.
I exhale the bullshit.
One strike at the same time.
Fighting became Paige’s safe haven; something to live for, and Rise may be the inspiring story of how she eventually transformed right into a bone-breaking, head-smashing fighter referred to as Paige VanZant. It’s the deeply moving story of the warrior who changed her pain into power and is becoming among the toughest ladies in the globe; an inspiring journey of someone who was knocked down in probably the most damaging way and came up swinging.
