“The Most Unlikely Champion” delves into the life and times of Vera Koo—it is a memoir. Her story starts with humble beginnings in China, then details her immigration to the US at the age of 12. The stage is set, and the rest unfolds as the book progresses, explaining the struggle between being raised in a traditional Chinese household, and living as an American adult female.
The timeline shifts between past and present, which is an engaging way to cover ground. She details her accomplishments and struggles in male-dominated shooting sports. As an 8-time Bianchi champion, Vera brings plenty of street cred to the story.

Through absolute gut-wrenching betrayal, she focuses her energy on the positive. Her story is brutal at times, and comes completely un-minced. Vera provides levity with funny quips and memories throughout her journey.
