In her memoir, the American gymnast has detailed the physically and mentally demanding challenges of the sport, including the racism she faced as a black competitor in the predominately white gymnastics world. She has shed light on her struggles with "eating disorders" and the painful criticism from her childhood coach, which nearly pushed her away from her beloved sport.

She has also reflected on the enduring friendships she forged with her teammates, including Simone Biles, who has contributed to the foreword of the book. Having commenced her gymnastics journey at the age of six and joining the USA team in 2013, Chiles has had a career with its share of highs and lows.

"I knew one voice out of five on a board, especially for issues that I really felt strongly about like banning violence and banning hate communities, I realized I was in a room that I wasn't aligned with and these were things that I knew were right for business, for society. And so the promise I made this was four years ago, I was just never gonna let myself get in that situation again."
