Risk

“Risk is an inspiring and captivating adventure story that beautifully intertwines Sue Norman’s legendary and pioneering career as a whitewater paddler with her deeply personal journey of overcoming immense challenges. Norman's raw and heartfelt narrative, showcases the transformative power of embracing what she calls ‘good risk.' This book is a testament to resilience, courage, and the healing force of outdoor adventure.”—Juliet Starrett, NYT best-selling author of Built to Move & 3x World Whitewater Champion

“Sue Norman’s Risk inspires awe.  It is a tale of overcoming; of passion; of deep connection to nature; and of a profound commitment to bringing one’s best to a life.   As a lifelong kayaker I thrilled to the passages about international river running and whitewater racing--the heart pounding risks and the courage.  As a human, I was profoundly moved by the lessons in how to put together a moral, generous, and meaningful life.”—Peter Heller, NYT best-selling author of The Dog Stars, The River, and Burn

“Sue Norman has paddled whitewater rivers around the world, yet without a doubt her biggest act of courage was becoming a mother. In this deeply thoughtful, often funny, resonant memoir, Norman deftly explores not just the landscapes and adventures that made her who she is, but also the terrain of the human heart.”—Caroline Paul, NYT best-selling author of Gutsy Girl and Tough Broad
