Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Lance Armstrong’s mother, Linda, has made a career off telling the story of how she raised the greatest cyclist the world has ever seen. She has said that she was the only constant presence in his life.#2 Linda’s mythmaking did not sit well with the rest of Lance’s family. They had their own version of his childhood to tell. For example, they called Sonny Lance’s father, and he was a handsome, blue-eyed rebel with a mischievous grin. He had a bad-boy charm that caused him to whisper to Linda, Make love, not war. They were married in a Baptist church in 1971.#3 Linda’s marriage to Sonny Gunderson was short-lived. She claimed in her book that he had been so rough with her that her neck and arms were bruised. Years later, the ex-husband admitted that he had slapped her just once.#4 For years, the Armstrong family had no contact with the Gundersons. The Gundersons had no idea that the Armstrongs were living in Richardson, a northern suburb of Dallas, and had no money to hire a lawyer or investigator to find them.
