Born in Ukraine near Chernobyl, Oksana Masters faced unimaginable challenges from birth—limb differences, medical complications, and life in an orphanage marked by hardship. Adopted at seven by a determined American woman, she underwent years of surgeries, refusing to be defined by limitations. Instead, she shattered barriers, rising to the top of four elite sports and earning 17 Paralympic medals, the most of any US Winter Olympian. Oksana’s inspiring journey from adversity to athletic greatness is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of love. Perfect for students and teachers alike, this memoir sparks discussions on perseverance, identity, and the pursuit of excellence.
