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?

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.

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!

I have been loving watching the tennis this year and wanted something light and fun to read, so this ticked every box.
The main protagonist Abby was a wonderful character and I really felt like I went on the journey with her. I also loved all of the inside information about Wimbledon. A great little summer read which didn’t disappoint.
