What does it take to become a champion? Gold medalist Missy Franklin, along with her parents, D.A. and Dick, tell the inspirational and heartwarming story of how Missy became both a legendary athlete and a happy and confident woman, something they accomplished by doing things their own way and making the right choices for their family. The word relentless has many meanings for swimmer Missy Franklin. In the pool, it reminds her to remain steady and persistent, unyielding in intensity and strength. In life, it tells her to reach down for her very best, even when it feels like there’s nothing left. The motto “don’t quit” doesn’t do it for Missy, but relentless gets her where she needs to be. And when Missy faces a challenge or a setback, her relentless spirit is what empowers her to learn, adapt, and move forward into the future. In Relentless Spirit, Missy and her parents, D.A. and Dick Franklin, share the story of how Missy became the athlete she is today, a six-time Olympic medalist, five of them gold. Since her Olympic debut in London’s 2012 games—when Missy was just seventeen—people who have met the Franklins or seen them on TV have wondered what it was like to raise such a champion. What was the training like? How did Missy handle school? How did the family find the right facilities, coaches, and support network? The story that Missy, and her parents, share inside is both inspiring and heartwarming, explaining how she became both a legendary athlete and a happy and confident woman, something they accomplished by doing things their own way and making the right choices for their family, which includes Missy’s faith journey, something she writes about with inspirational candor. Including the highs, the tough moments, and everything in-between, Relentless Spirit tells the story of a woman—and a family—full of love, heart, faith, and resilience.

I had a very hard struggle to get my life straight. I feel that my story will help many people. MISSY HALLEPEGNACIOUS
I was a rich teenager whose parents died in a plane crash and left me and my sister a two million dollar house and 10 million dollars. I then turned three young girls into French maid whores, for fi nancial reasons and or immigration reasons they allowed this to happen. My story includes French maids, anal sex, oral sex, spankings, canings, whippings, strappings, domination and submission, corner time, and a great amount of humiliation, etc. My delight in training and punishing these three young women into submission eventually leads down a path that I wished that I never traveled. Then it was time for me to be punished for all my Bad Boy behavior. Now, I was turned into the French maid, the sissy maid. A continuing series of special, good and bad characters.
Part one covers the early days of sissy maid missys travels to becoming a sissy maid to a lovely Governess, Sofia, and missys own sister, Christy. My story begins on a Farm in Pennsylvania where missy grew up as Mitchell. Mitchells early behavior and punishments are covered; while Mitchell experienced plenty of attention from his fathers strap, a big long thick strap. Highlighted other events of Mitchells growing years also include a couple of very humiliating punishments as well as the sadness of a DEATH TOO SOON. That DEATH TOO SOON; set Mitchells life in motion to become a sharpshooter and gun slinger like no other the West had ever seen before, or after. The story continues with Mitchell and his family taking a train to the famous Dodge City, where Mitchell actually met Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Bat Masterson. That was the highlight of Mitchells life at that point in time. However, it would not be the last time they met. Then it was onto the wagon train; to Tombstone Arizona. While in the wagon train, Mitchells behavior became uncontrollable and he kept getting himself punished. While at the same time; Mitchells gun handling ability saves the lives of others and make Mitchell the most unlikely hero. Finally, as Mitchells parents tire of his poor behavior, they resort to hiring an English Governess to teach Mitchell how to behave and to obey. The Governess takes Mitchell down the path to obedience the old fashion English way; in the form of petticoat punishment and the cane. The Governess changes Mitchell into missy! My story continues as the family settles in Tombstone where Mitchell, since converted to missy, becomes THE FIRST SISSY MAID of the West in Tombstone, Arizona.
