In middle age, a deep fear of guns led the author to enroll in a gun safety course. The decision would alter the course of her life as competitive pistol shooting became the therapy she needed to survive the emotional pain of her husband\u2019s extra-marital affairs and other tragedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two cultures victoriously collide in this intensely self-controlled woman as Koo melds her traditional Chinese upbringing, which views wives as subservient to their husbands, with \u201ca quintessentially American story,\u201d where hard work pays off in the achievement of national and world recognition as the top female contender in her sport. She offers a unique glimpse into American freedom to court perfection in the male-dominated world of pistol shooting and the Chinese culture of discipline and goal-driven tenacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With repetitive themes of outer calm masking inner turmoil, Koo\u2019s writing is captivating. Readers will enjoy their privileged peek behind Koo\u2019s stoic, unflinching veneer where her vulnerable pain from the death of her infant son, emotional abuse from her father-in-law, her brother\u2019s unexpected murder and her husband\u2019s infidelity simmer. Throughout, she revisits 70 years of experiences and divulges her secrets to emotional healing: In life, don\u2019t \u201cquestion [God\u2019s] plans\u201d; in competition, \u201cthe person you\u2019re competing against is yourself,\u201d and in relationships, forgiveness \u201cis the only way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Koo\u2019s commitment to perfecting the task at hand, it\u2019s no surprise her memoir is beautifully written, easy to read, endearing and uplifting. From teens to adults, readers will take away something worthwhile from this gem-of-a-soul that is Vera Koo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Most-Unlikely-Champion-Memoir-ebook\/dp\/B079KHQ91P\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1550796021&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+most+unlikely+champion%2C+koo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hardcover and ebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original review can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueinkreview.com\/book-reviews\/the-most-unlikely-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Review written by professional book reviewer.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vera Koo\u2014professional sport shooter and eight-time winner of the women\u2019s National Rifle Association (NRA) Bianchi Cup\u2014relates how her unwavering focus, determination and faith in Jesus enabled her to conquer the biggest challenges of her life.
