Book to Movie Mondays

A new feature here on the Novel Chatter blog! On Mondays I'll be spotlighting books that become movies, either current or classic, new and old.


Today, it's Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton.

From the publisher:

She lost her arm in a shark attack and nearly died, but she never lost her faith. Now a major motion picture, Soul Surfer is the moving story of Bethany Hamilton’s triumphant return to competitive surfing and has continued to be a beacon of inspiration to all who hear it.
