SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Vera Koo is offering the audiobook version of her memoir, "The Most Unlikely Champion," to accommodate her listeners who prefer to remain hands-free and informed.
"The Most Unlikely Champion" is a powerful memoir that weaves together a collage of the sharp details that make up Vera Koo's long, challenging and colorful life. Vera, at the tender age of 12, immigrates to the United States, making the seemingly impossible shift from her home and culture in China. In gritty chronology, she relays the struggles of being of two worlds, that of her Chinese household and that of a more modern American woman.
In keeping with reader engagement, Vera pivots between her youth and more recent history. Most professionally notable, she begins to take on the shooting sports and its male-dominated make-up; ultimately, Vera ends up earning the title of 8-time Bianchi champion.
What can't be disputed is the book's candid approach to emotional and turbulent events – including the death of a child and betrayal – that propelled Vera into new, emboldened chapters of her life. Grace and decisiveness are key attributes that linger in her handling of tragedy and infidelity, causing her to lean into taking on the shooting sports and excelling. Vera uses perspective to humorously embrace things and events most would shrink from or sidestep.
