"It may be hard to believe while I'm gravity-bound on my bedroom floor, but if there's one thing I've learned in my time on Earth, it's that as long as you keep saying yes, everything is possible," says author Hayley Arceneaux. Arceneaux's power comes from her faith and her ability to look forward in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Before she became the youngest American to go to space, she had packed a lifetime's worth of experience into her twenty-nine years. She went to Spain to practice her Spanish and worked medical mission trips in Nicaragua and Peru, checking off five continents on her travel list before she was invited on the ultimate ride, farther than she ever dreamed she'd go. And she's done it all with a titanium prosthesis in her leg-courtesy of treatment for bone cancer at St. Jude nearly twenty years ago. In this riveting and deeply personal memoir, with heart and humor, Arceneaux shares the details of her Wild Ride, from the cancer experience that inspired her lifelong dream of working with childhood cancer patients to the exhilaration of being asked to join the first civilian space flight as a representative of St. Jude. From training to launch to splashdown, in never-before-told stories, Arceneaux details what it was like to climb Mt. Rainier in the snow, train in a fighter jet, battle G-forces, fly in a Dragon to space, and drink her morning cold brew while circling the globe once every ninety minutes. Arceneaux's uplifting story is the inspiration we all need today. She offers wisdom and courage to anyone fighting against the odds. And through it all, she reveals how resilience and faith can help us grab hold of the life we've always wanted and live it to the fullest"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Arceneaux, Hayley. 650 0 $a Women astronauts $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Physicians' assistants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cancer $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Bone substitutes $z United States. 650 0 $a Space medicine $z United States. 650 0 $a Space flight. 650 7 $a Bone substitutes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835974 650 7 $a Cancer $x Patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845411 650 7 $a Physicians' assistants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062965 650 7 $a Space flight. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127676 650 7 $a Space medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127762 650 7 $a Women astronauts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177175 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Bark, Sandra, $e author. 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231003010617.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011044.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221022011826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1D5D0A0651D011EDB119A86D23ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
