A thrilling graphic novel about Wilma Rudolph, who overcame obstacles and odds to become one of the greatest track stars of all time!

When Wilma Rudolph was just a young girl, she lost strength in her leg and foot after contracting polio. Forced to wear a leg brace until she was nine, she was told that she might never walk the way she used to again.
