Livet, Kampen, Sejren
En septemberdag i 2013 styrter triatleten Camilla Pedersen under træning. Hun bliver indlagt med kraniebrud og blødninger i hjernen. Hun ligger 19 dage i koma. Lægerne siger, at hun måske aldrig kommer til at gå igen. Men Camilla har aldrig accepteret at blive sat på plads af andres grænser. Hun kæmper sig tilbage – skridt for skridt, meter for meter. Fra at lære at stå på benene igen til at stille op i verdens hårdeste konkurrencer. Ét år efter, at hun lå livløs, står hun som verdensmester. I denne bog fortæller hun sin historie. Om smerten, der blev hendes rettesnor. Om at tabe alt – og vinde mere, end hun troede muligt. Om barndommens vilde konkurrencer med storebroren, om ishockeyens tæsk, om at mærke livet og døden i samme krop – og om at finde vej tilbage, da alt syntes tabt. Men Livet, kampen, sejren er ikke kun en fortælling om sport. Det er en historie om livskraft, kærlighed, tab og forvandling. Om at finde mening i modgang og opdage, at styrke ikke altid måles i medaljer –

Hvad det er for et mål, bliver først klart i løbet af rejsen. Magisk realisme i et grønlandsk univers for de 8-12 årige.
