'A stunning debut, this is the perfect summer read' SANTA MONTEFIORE

It's never too late to follow your dreams...

Twenty years ago, Abigail Patterson put her promising tennis career on hold to have her baby son, Robbie. But after a wild card entry to Wimbledon, she suddenly finds herself swept up in a world she thought she'd left behind - and against all odds, she's winning!

Yet as those long-buried dreams of lifting the sparkling silver trophy on centre court inch closer, Abi knows that it's only a matter of time before the press start digging into her past and uncover the secret she's kept hidden for so long.

The stakes are raised, but this time nothing - and no one - is going to stand in her way. But could the greatest comeback of all time destroy everything she's sacrificed to protect?

I really enjoyed this - she covers some very topical and important issues in women’s tennis with a light touch - good hands! The narrator is great and Judy’s words are lovely too - crediting her team.

Like playing tennis - a great distraction!

As a summer easy read this was a great book. Whilst the storyline was a bit predictable I enjoyed the feel good story which will inspire and motivate women and girls.

Very enjoyable

Great characters, storyline and tension. Wonderful to read an intimate encounter written without detail, in dignified way consistent with sentinent of the book. Shows a great understanding of the characters that the reader can empathise and connect with. A brilliant novel set in the world of tennis but a story that will appeal to a wide audience.
Thank you Judi xx

Definitely a 'must read'

The story was well written but I bought it as an audio book and the narrator put the wrong emphasis on so many words I found it distracting.
