"There is a particular kind of wisdom that comes only after watching your world collapse."
When tragedy strikes on her fourteenth birthday, a promising young athlete's life shatters in an instant. The sudden death of her father—her biggest champion and the man who nurtured her football dreams—leaves her drowning in guilt and convinced she's to blame.
For seventeen years, she struggles through the wreckage.
But even in darkness, seeds of resilience take root. Through football, education, and eventually therapy, she discovers that healing isn't about erasing the past—it's about reclaiming her future.
Raw, unflinching, and ultimately triumphant, this memoir charts one woman's courageous battle back from the brink—revealing how our deepest wounds can become our greatest teachers, and how sometimes we must first lose everything to find ourselves.
