520    In this inspiring memoir, a former female Marine platoon 
       leader recalls the wars she has fought--on the playing 
       field, the battlefield, and inside her own soul--revealing
       how overcoming the harrowing circumstances in her life 
       helped her ultimately redefine what it means to be strong 
       and what "perfect" really is. Theresa Larson has lived 
       multiple lives. At ten she was a caregiver to her dying 
       mother. As an adolescent, an All-Star high school, college,
       and professional softball player. As a young adult, a 
       fitness competition winner, beauty pageant contestant, and
       model. And as a grown woman, a high-achieving Lieutenant 
       in the Marines, in charge of an entire platoon while 
       deployed in Iraq. Meanwhile, Theresa was battling bulimia 
       nervosa, an internal struggle which ultimately cut short 
       her military service when she was voluntarily evacuated 
       from combat. Theresa's journey to wellness required the 
       bravery to ask for help, to take care of herself first, 
       and abandon the idea of "perfect." In Warrior, she lays 
       bare all of these lives in intimate and vivid detail, 
       examining extremely personal and sometime painful moments 
       and how, by finally accepting the help of others, she 
       learned to make herself whole. From growing up in a log 
       cabin outside Seattle to facing down the enemy in Iraq, 
       Theresa's journey demonstrates that good health and 
       happiness is a daily, intentional act that requires 
       persistence and commitment. Theresa hopes that through 
       sharing her story, she will help inspire others to empower
       themselves, embrace their inner warrior and re-define 
       strength. Startling and funny, terrifying and triumphant, 
       heartbreaking and inspirational, Warrior is at heart a 
       story of perseverance and success--of a determined woman 
       who is model for everyone struggling to conquer their own 
       demons. Theresa shows that asking for help can be an act 
       of courage, and that we are stronger than we think when 
       faced with seemingly impossible odds.
