She became deaf as a child, and grew up loving sports and action. Kitty jumped, ran, raced, and swam, all while learning to read lips and communicating through sign language. Eventually, Kitty took a job as a stuntwoman, doing the most dangerous job on set and even filming stunts for films like Wonder Woman! <p/>Still, Kitty wanted more thrills. She became a racecar driver and sought to do what no woman had done before. She chose the aptly named Motivator and trained like a true champion. In 1976, Kitty and the Motivator broke the land speed record, racing at over 600 miles per hour! Kitty was a hero to fans everywhere, and proved that she was truly unstoppable.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This thrilling biography provides <b>excellent representation of the deaf community</b> as well as of a woman in sports. --<i>School Library Journal, </i>starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dean Robbins</b> is a journalist and children's book author.
