Even if her injured athletes body doesnt move as fast as it once did. Even if the sports media says shes too old to be playing professionally. So at thirty-seven years old, Carrie Soto is coming out of retirement to defend her title. Just like that, Carries championship record is slipping through her hands. Which is why it is infuriating when Nicki Chan arrives on the scene six years later and ties Carrie with twenty Slams. After all, her dad-a former champion tennis player himself-has trained her for this since the age of two, always emphasizing, We dont stop for one second until you are the best. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one of those victories. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam titles. And by the time she retires from the game in 1989 at the age of thirty-one, she is just that: the best. She is determined to be the best professional tennis player the world has ever seen.
About the Book In this powerful novel about the cost of ambition and success, a legendary athlete attempts a comeback at an age when the world considers her past her prime-from the New York Times bestselling author of Malibu Rising.
