A book launch is being held tonight at a local car dealership.
Although it’s not the traditional venue for a book signing, OpenRoad Infiniti’s in Langley’s high-end auto mall is hosting a celebration for Leah Goldstein and the release of her book, No Limits.
The book is a powerful true story of Goldstein, and the autobiography is being hailed as a “stunning example†of a life without limits.
Born in Vancouver, by age 11 she was a blackbelt. She enlisted in the Israeli Military, and became the first female instructor of the elite commando division before transitioning to a special forces unit combatting terrorism and violent crime.
The extreme lifestyle of the secret police eventually took its toll on her, and she found her salvation in a bicycle.
She then pursued a 10-year career as a professional cyclist in Europe and North America, and triumphed as world champion in the gruelling 3,000-mile Race Across America.
From crashes to podiums, from fear to triumph, these memoirs gives a glimpse at what’s possible from a “no limits†mindset.
The celebration, emceed by News 1130’s Tammy Moyer, runs 7 to 9 p.m. tonight (Thursday, June 25) at the Infiniti dealership, 5995 Collection Dr.
