Requests:  0 Summary:  Welcome to the world of women's gymnastics and figure skating--the real world that happens away from the cameras, at the training camps and in the private lives of these talented teenage competitors. From starvation diets and debilitating injuries to the brutal tactics of tyrannical gymnastics guru Béla Károlyi, LITTLE GIRLS IN PRETTY BOXES portrays the horrors endured by girls at the hands of their coaches and sometimes their own families--and is now updated with a new introduction and foreword that address the sexual abuse scandal perpetrated by USA Gymnastics national team doctor, Larry Nassar. This groundbreaking book shows how a longstanding culture of abuse made young gymnasts perfect targets for a sexual predator, and continues to plead for sanity, safety, and an end to our national obsession: winning at any cost.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.44082 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.44082 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.44082 Ry Checked In Add Copy to MyList
