  "Good Enough" is an intimate and compelling memoir penned by Aaron Victor, a chronicle of his personal journey towards self-acceptance. A testament to his resilience, the book meticulously depicts his transformation from being an 'unknown man' to his journey towards self-acceptance. 
  Aaron's narrative explores his early childhood experiences and the pressures of meeting adult expectations at a very young age. His relationship with his father forms a pivotal part of this narrative arc. Victor does not shy away from portraying the impact of his father's battle with prostate cancer on their bond. His passion for music and his arduous journey to fully embrace this talent also form significant threads in this narrative tapestry. 
  From touching upon episodes of bullying in his school days to the pressure of high academic expectations, Aaron has crafted an engaging narrative that examines the lasting impact of childhood experiences on an individual's self-perception. His perpetual quest for acceptance and his struggle with perfectionism underscore his internal conflict between seeking external validation and recognizing that true self-worth lies within. His quest for authenticity evolves through introspection, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing. 
  Aaron Victor's experiences in his personal life, including his relationships and his pursuit of his passion, form the backbone of this memoir. He shares his experiences with romantic relationships, highlighting his time in the friend zone, and how this affected his feelings of self-worth. His journey from high school to college, his struggle as a college basketball player, and his setbacks in his career, particularly a job offer that fell through, paint a vivid picture of his life's ups and downs.

  As a teenager in the 1990s, Katie Brown was one of climbing's first "comp kids"—a young natural who, along with her peers, redefined the image of a strong and successful climber. After climbing for less than two years, Brown won her first junior national title. The next year she became the Junior World Champion at age fourteen in Laval, France. In 1996 she won both the Rock Master—a prestigious international contest in Arco, Italy—and the esteemed X-Games. From 1996 on, Brown won every US Adult National that she entered, as well as a World Cup Title in France in 1999. 
   
   
   
  Yet even as she reigned on the podium, Brown felt her life begin to unravel. A quiet child, she struggled with a home life that was very different behind closed doors than it seemed on television. A fundamentalist version of Christianity was at the center of the household, and Brown fought to live according to rules that were strict, ever-changing, and irrational. Isolated and feeling hopeless, Brown latched onto food as something she could control. She quit competitive climbing and bounced in and out of the industry, eventually disappearing in her late twenties. 
   
   
   
  Now, more than two decades later, Brown is ready to share her story. Unraveled answers the question thousands of fans worldwide have wondered: "What ever happened to Katie Brown?"
