Solo: A Memoir of Hope

Featured twice on the cover of Sports Illustrated and a TV regular, Solo may have made her name as the independent-minded goalkeeper for the U.S. womens national soccer team, but shes much more. Heres her story, focusing on her relationship with her father, who taught her to love soccer but disappeared from her life for a time when he was convicted of embezzlement. Given Solos headliner reputation, not to mention comparisons to Jeannette Wallss The Glass Castle, the 30,000-copy first printing seems a bit cautious.
