BUILT FOR THIS The Quiet Strength of Powerlifting

Julia Turshen's performance sparkles in this brief audiobook about her introduction to powerlifting and her discovery that exercise helped her overcome self-consciousness about her body and take delight in her newfound strength. Turshen is well known for her love of cooking and creating recipes. At one of the weakest times in her life she learned her true strength. From her initial power lifts to her eventual participation in competition, Turshen makes her personal life and the world of powerlifting compelling. In particular, her performance reflects the emotions of her experiences. Roxane Gay narrates her introduction to this work; the performances of both narrators are a dual delight.
