About
Babe Didrikson never tried a sport too tough and never met a hurdle too high. Despite attempts to keep women from competing, Babe achieved All-American status in basketball and won gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Olympics. At the height of her fame, she was diagnosed with cancer. Babe would then take her most daring step of all: go public and try to win again with the hope of inspiring the world.

"Starred Review. ...wonderful to hear...Performer Hillary Huber's voice is wonderfully matched to Didrikson's Texas twang and the many people she met along the way...Highly recommended..."
Library Journal
"Hillary Huber narrates...with panache, confidence, and only a touch of femininity - a style reminiscent of the great Babe Didrikson herself...Listeners need not be sports fans to appreciate the impressive determination of this groundbreaking American."

"Huber portrays the superstar and her siblings in a southern accent...and the parents' Norwegian dialect rings true."
