ИСТОРИЯ ЧАКА ВИНЧИ
Могучая мышь Америки
From the olive groves of Sicily to the Olympic podiums of Melbourne and Rome, America’s Mighty Mouse: The Chuck Vinci Story is a powerful historical saga of faith, family and determination.
Based on the true story of Olympic gold medalist Chuck Vinci, this richly detailed novel follows the Vinci family from their humble beginnings in Italy through decades of hardship in Cleveland’s ghettos. As immigrants navigating the Great Depression, World War II and postwar America, Charles and Maria Vinci raise eleven children on faith and perseverance. From their struggle blooms an unlikely champion — their smallest son, Chuck Jr., nicknamed “Mighty Mouse,” who defies the odds to become one of the greatest weightlifters in U.S. Olympic history.
Told through vivid historical realism and cinematic storytelling, Christine M. Taylor-Lohmeyer captures not only the rise of a world-class athlete, but also the resilience of a family whose strength was forged through love, sacrifice and unyielding belief in the American dream.
A tribute to every immigrant who dared to dream beyond their beginnings, America’s Mighty Mouse is a timeless reminder that greatness is born not from privilege, but from heart.
