The story of Natalie Coughlin's remarkable battle back from injury and burnout to be-come America's Golden Girl--a two-time Olympic Gold Medal winner in swimming and the most decorated female athlete at the 2004 Olympics Five years ago, Natalie Coughlin's promising swimming career was all but extinguished when a devastating shoulder injury ended her dreams for the 2000 Olympics. After becoming, at age 15, the first person ever to qualify for all 14 women's events at the U.S. Nationals, she seemed destined to follow the path of so many other young swimming stars--devoured by an oppressive training schedule. In Golden Girl, Sports Illustrated's Michael Silver--coauthor of many bestselling sports memoirs--including Dennis Rodman's, Kurt Warner's, and Jerry Rice's--tells the story of Natalie's remarkable journey back from the brink. With complete access to her family, friends, coaches, teammates, and adversaries, Silver details how she made the crucial choice to train with University of California coach Teri McKeever. Together the two, star and coach, have defied long-standing training methods, forcing the swimming community to rethink the ways in which it treats its talent. An inspirational story of a complex and courageous young athlete, Golden Girl is also a fascinating portrait of the fractious world of competitive swimming.

At the corporations and throughout society, there are 3 levels of people. The highest levels are the Founders, who have acquired massive wealth and for the general advancement of mankind, control society. This is a small percent of people in The Country, less than even 0.1% of the people.On his walk home, Ben sees a lovely dark haired tan woman with Greenish-Blue Eyes. Ben doesn't talk to her and instead goes home. He then falls asleep and goes to work the next day. There at work, Ben meets his newest co-worker Jessica and they immediately hit it off. Then, the number 2 at B corp., Jonathan Vilheim II(2), is introduced into the novel. His uncle Jonathan, the first, is the current CEO. But Vilheim 2 is starting to run the entity and was instrumental in bringing Jessica into town.

Thomas, however, is quite smart, and due to his power, the technologically advanced societies must deal with him. Thomas meets Ben and believes he can turn Ben to the Faction.Next, a series of events is set off that threatens to unravel the delicate balance of society in the Year 2087.
