She yearns for her climbing coach to notice her, but his attention crosses boundaries she doesn't know how to resist. When she’s climbing, she discovers a place she belongs: she can turn off her brain, pain has a purpose, and it’s okay if you want to win.Īs Sam grows into her teens, she grapples with self-doubt and insecurity. She just loves to climb-trees, fences, walls, the side of a building.
Sam doesn’t fit in at school, where the other girls have the right shade of blue jeans and don’t question the rules. Her mother, Courtney, struggles to make ends meet, and never fails to remind her daughter that her life should be different. She adores her father, though he isn’t around much. What happens to a girl’s exuberance and wonder as she becomes a woman? This unforgettable portrait of coming-of-age offers a powerful reflection on class, addiction, parenthood, longing, and ambition.
