Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce is a six-time Olympic medal winner and holds several prestigious national and world athletic titles. I Am a Promise is the inspirational story of her journey—from her childhood in a tough but loving inner-city community in Jamaica, through her development as a young athlete, to her first Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter sprint in 2008. I Am a Promise shows young readers that believing in yourself is the best way to fulfill your promise to the world.

All of Shelly Ann's proceeds from this book will be donated to her Pocket Rocket Foundation, which provides full academic scholarships for high school student athletes.
