Free You Will Know Me: A Novel Ebooks To Download
The audacious new novel about family and ambition from "one of the best living mystery writers" (Grantland) and best-selling, award-winning author of The Fever, Megan Abbott. How far will you go to achieve a dream? That's the question a celebrated coach poses to Katie and Eric Knox after he sees their daughter, Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful, compete. For the Knoxes there are no limits - until a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community, and everything they have worked so hard for is suddenly at risk. As rumors swirl among the other parents, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself irresistibly drawn to the crime itself. What she uncovers - about her daughter's fears, her own marriage, and herself - forces Katie to consider whether there's any price she isn't willing to pay to achieve Devon's dream. From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl" (Janet Maslin), You Will Know Me is a breathless roller coaster of a novel about the desperate limits of parental sacrifice, furtive desire, and the staggering force of ambition.

This riveting book made my skin crawl. Ostensibly a mystery about a fatal hit and run, You Will Know Me delves into the world of women's gymnastics, a sport that began to repulse me when Bela and Marta Karolyi arrived on the international coaching scene in 1974. The young phenom Nadia Comaneci rocketed the Karolyis to fame. Gone were the days of Olga Korbut and the graceful beauty of Ludmilla Tourischeva. The Karolyis, who wanted winners at any cost, created a group of automatons. Their training methods were controversial. Several Olympic medalists later accused them of psychological and verbal abuse, as well as constant criticism of weight and body type. These young girls often worked with serious injuries and developed eating disorders. "I was intimidated. He looked down on me. He was six-feet something, and I was four-feet nothing.", said one of Bela's proteges.It was with this backdrop that I read the story of the Knox family and Coach Teddy. Eric and Katie Knox are middle class parents of Devon, a remarkably talented young gymnast, and Drew, a highly intelligent fourth grader. Seemingly content with Devon's current coach, they are persuaded by Gwen, a wealthy gym parent, that Devon and the other gymnasts need a better coach.They defect en masse to Coach Teddy's gym. Still not content with the facilities, Gwen convinces the boosters to pay for more, which brought a handsome young construction man into the story. The girls and even their mothers, who have no social lives, are intrigued.The Knox family is obsessed with Coach Teddy and Devon's talent. They acquire massive debt. They have no life.
