| Summary |
"This is an "as-told-to" autobiography of University of Tennessee alumna Monica Abbott, who is a world-renowned professional softball pitcher in the National Professional Fastpitch league-indeed, the first female athlete in softball to sign a million-dollar contract. The narrative relates Abbott's rather humble beginnings, not initially even much interested in sports but finding herself captivated by softball. The story will serve as an inspiration for other athletes, especially girls and women, as they find their way into organized sports"-- Provided by publisher |
