Raw, personal, “the biggest story never told” according to one expert in maternal health: Butterfly in a Blizzard shines a light on the trials of being a professional athlete and a mother. Regarded through a different lens, women with children are too often accorded fewer rights than their male partners. Kimmy Fasani – mother, professional athlete, wife to pro skier and artist Chris Benchetler – must manage time for herself, her sport, her sponsors, and most importantly, her children. “Her time” is often criticized as selfish but, as she reminds us, you can only give to another when you are whole yourself. Kimmy navigates this world with grace and kindness while life-threatening health challenges add to her already full plate. Yet again, she bravely faces her own mortality and its impact on her family. When we see her at the top of the mountain, ready to drop in for her run on the Natural Selection Tour, we can only be humbled. This story is inspiration to anyone – male or female – who has put everything on the line for their loves.
