*The Glass Castle* meets *A League of Their Own* in *Solo* , a candid and moving memoir about family, loss, and reconciliation from Hope Solo, the supremely talented, headline-making goalkeeper for the U.S. women’s national soccer team. During the 2011 Women’s World Cup, Solo became an idol, role model, and sex symbol to a new generation of young American sports enthusiasts, inspiring the kind of intense devotion not seen since the days of Mia Hamm. An Olympic gold medalist and arguably America’s sexiest athlete, Hope has been featured on the cover of *Sports* *Illustrated* (twice), in *ESPN: The Magazine* , and as a contestant on the hit ABC television show *Dancing with the Stars* , and her poignant, compelling, and profoundly inspiring personal history will score big with her legion of fans.
