Eric Liddell, the Olympian who switched from 100m sprint to 400m sprint at the last minute. And then switched from athletics to missionary work. An incredible story of an extraordinary man.

Happy book birthday to me. This girl standing in the ancient city of Ephesus could never have imagined writing a series crammed full of Greek and Roman myth. But somehow I did. Keep dreaming big!
