β¦ Synopsis
The heart of change is the change of heart.
Life is about never-ending choices. Yet some people never have the courage to choose change. CJ Fallon has struggled with a family that she's never quite fit into and a negative body image poisoned by her toxic, emotionally-distant mother. CJ's mom finds fault with every choice CJ has made in her 27 young years. From earning her degrees; to climbing the corporate ladder; to her love of competing in Ironman triathlons; it's all been one mistake after another according to CJ's mother.And now that CJ has won her 'age group' in an ironman race as an amateur, she's on the radar of the world's athletic elite. Nick Madison, a former Tour-de-France star and coach of an up-and-coming Ironman team, wants her to join his outfit and become a professional. A real pro! CJ struggles with her decision but once she commits to something, there's no turning back.After all, life is about making choices. Even if it means leaving a stable career. Even if it means leaving friends and moving half-way around the world. Even if it means living her mother's rejection. Even if it means losing her heart. Even if it means risking her very life.
