In a previous post, we let you know that Abby Wambach's new memoir, Forward, is receiving huge amounts of much-deserved buzz. We can't say we're too suprised—Forward is no ordinary sports memoir. Abby lends her story hard-earned honesty and perspective as she delves into her history, from her rise as a young budding soccer star to her battle with substance abuse.
Now, Booklist has chosen it as their Booklist Online Review of the Day! In their wonderful review, Booklist states, "While the sports stories are included, this is not a book celebrating on-field triumphs: it’s a book about one woman’s journey to put her remarkable talents into context and accept herself." They finish by declaring Forward as "A cut above the standard sports memoir." To read the full review, click here. And be sure to get your copy here.
