A candid and moving memoir about family, loss, and reconciliation from the supremely talented and headline-making goalkeeper for the U.S. women's national soccer team.
Solo is the face of the modern female athlete: fearless, outspoken, and the best in the world at what she does: protecting the goal of the U.S. women's soccer team. But her journey is haunted by the fallout of her family history. She tells her story as a woman of uncompromising independence and hard-won perseverance, navigating the petty backlash against her. For the first time, she offers a full understanding of her hard-scrabble life.
