How else could one explain the passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing--not even the loss of her arm--could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany responded to the shark's stealth attack with the calm of a girl with God on her side. Pushing pain and panic aside, she began to paddle with one arm, focusing on a single thought: \"Get to the beach....\" And when the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was \"When can I surf again?\" it became clear that her spirit and determination were part of a greater story--a tale of courage and faith that this soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Surfer\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving account of Bethany's life as a young surfer, her recovery after the attack, the adjustments she's made to her unique surfing style, her unprecedented bid for a top showing in the World Surfing Championships, and, most fundamentally, her belief in God. It is a story of girl power and spiritual grit that shows the body is no more essential to surfing--perhaps even less so--than the soul.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBethany Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e, who \u003ci\u003eYM\u003c\/i\u003e magazine called the \"Bravest Girl in America,\" has been surfing since she was seven years old.
