Poor Little Swift Girl – by Steve Friedman

Boston, MA, May 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- New Word City LLC, announces the publication of Poor Little Swift Girl – The True Story of Zola Budd, a new eBook by The New York Times bestselling sportswriter Steve Friedman.

If you think you know the story of Olympic runner Zola Budd, Friedman writes, think again. Even if you remember how the barefoot prodigy broke world records and was blamed for favorite Mary Decker’s career-crippling fall, her story has more heartbreak and nuance than the headlines would have you believe. Here, Friedman unearths the true story.
