About this book
"Wherever Hope Solo goes, drama seems to follow her. From the story about her father kidnapping Hope and her brother when they were kids to her performance on the reality show Dancing with the Stars, journalists are never at a loss for something to say about this professional soccer player. And she is never without a response. Always willing to say what's on her mind, Hope is the first to speak up for herself in any situation. And she doesn't care whether others agree with her. She knows that her honesty and openness have helped her become the person she is today--one of the best goalies in the sport of soccer"--Back cover.
