Enjoyable true life story with some positive life lessons.
(Virginia Beach, VA) November 11, 2004 - 4.0/5 stars

I bought this for my grade school aged niece (it's a young adult readers book), but decided to read it first.

Who can forget Bethany's story of getting her arm bit off by a huge shark? It was interesting to learn about her family.

Both of her parents moved to Hawaii when they were young to follow their passion for surfing. They met up while working at the island's resorts, and raised their kids to surf as soon as they could.

Bethany is a very accomplished surfer, with endorsements from surfing clothes and board manufacturers, and it's uplifting to know she is still surfing and still doing well in competitions after the accident.

Bethany mentions that she is happy to do interviews (which she admits are tedious) as long as she can mention what Christ has done for her life.

(Winter Haven, Fl.) December 29, 2004 - 4.0/5 stars
A very special young lady whose story is touching people all over. It's comforting to know that Bethany's "Ohana" is so big and that they look out for eachother. We on the mainland could learn from them. Get the book you'll be happy you did.
