Broken to Unbreakable
You’re never too old — and it’s never too late.
Sometimes the dream we thought we lost is simply waiting for us to become the person who can return to it.
The comeback arc
A competitive beginning, an abrupt ending, and the return that arrived more than three decades later.
The beginning
The competitive years began on the uneven bars at nine. Everything that follows starts here.
The break
At sixteen, a spinal fracture ended Lori’s gymnastics career and closed the door on the future she had imagined.
The years away
Marriage, raising a family, and building a business filled the years the door stayed closed.
The return
More than thirty years later, Lori returned scared, uncertain, and very much alive to possibility.
Still becoming
More than fifty medals after returning, Lori is still competing, still learning, and still challenging what age is supposed to mean.
Meet Lori
At sixteen, a spinal fracture ended Lori’s gymnastics career. More than thirty years later, another fracture became an unexpected beginning. She returned scared, uncertain, and very much alive to possibility.
The memoir
This is a true story of resilience, reinvention, and what happens when the dream you buried refuses to die.
Reader reflections
“Lori reminds us that true strength is found not in avoiding life’s challenges, but in growing through them.”
“Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I encourage every adult who feels like giving up or feels stuck to get this book immediately.”
