Hope Solo's inspiring story tells about her childhood while feeling alone and misunderstood. She had a lousy father and a family that she felt could never understand her. That was until one day she found a sport that could help her fight through that. Soccer. Solo's powerful and emotional words help you feel what it must have been like to be her. While reading her book not only does it make you feel bad for her and the other children like her, it makes you relize just how lucky I am to have a family who loves and supports me. Even though the book was inspiring, I would have liked a much more advanced vocabulary to make it more challenging. If there were another book in this series then I would read it but in the mean time I would just recommend this book to anyone who is going to a challenging step in their life. Hope Solo is one of my idols so reading this book was of great interest to me, and it was well worth reading. Hope has come from a rough childhood and finally finds an escape. Soccer is her escape she really enjoys it. Throughout the story we learn of Hopes struggle and rise as the athlete she is today. I give this book 5 stars for its great detail and impact on my life. It made me realize soccer isn't just a game its more to me than that. Hope did a real nice job at an auto biography and I am glad she wrote it. Now all I got to do is wait for a part two!
Good especially if you like Hope Solo, also fairly compelling. Great for middle school girls.
