Breaking the Surface

Author:  Greg Louganis with Eric Marcus


Publisher:   Sourcebooks

Edition:  Print

Where I got the book:  Strathcona High School Library

Publisher's summary:


In his number one New York Times best selling autobiography, Greg Louganis gives us the gift of his heartbreaking honesty.  He discusses his early struggles with adoption and abuse, his late-detected dyslexia, prejudice towards his dark skin coloring and anguish over his homosexuality, which he felt compelled to hide.  His newfound celebrity led to drinking and drugs, and intensified the difficulties he was having with his relationships.

Greg is a superb athlete, four-time Olympic gold medalist and a role model to millions.  Here is his story -- the story of the world's greatest diver.
