      abstract = {Bill Strickland believed he was cursed. No matter how  secure his life outwardly seemed, the happiness he had  attained with his wife and daughter hung by a  thread--threatened by the monster Bill lived in constant  fear of, a demon inside him that had been created by  horrific childhood abuse. A lifelong but decidedly average  bicyclist, Bill was challenged by his daughter to score ten  points in a series of weekly races dominated by pro racers,  national champions, and legends of the sport. He hoped that  if he could achieve this impossible feat, he might  similarly triumph over the indestructible demon that  haunted his life. Weaving together the story of the races  and Bill's struggle to overcome a legacy of abuse, this is  an insider's look at the world of bicycling and the healing  power of sports.--From publisher description.},
