Wambach, Abby Forward: My Story, 208 pgs. HarperCollins
Publishers, 2016. $16.99 Language – PG (2 swear, 0 “f”), Mature Content – PG;
Violence – PG;
Wambach talks about the cycles of her life—the ups and downs—and
honestly puts her success and failures out for all to read. Her transparency in
admitting faults, mistakes, shortcomings, and frustrations encourage the
question, “If a person like that can also be amazing and inspiring, why not
me?” While not everyone is going to be a soccer player, we can all relate to
the desire to discover ourselves and be accepted for who we are.
Wambach uses
the labels she was given throughout her life to illustrate how we can fall into
many categories, but, in the end, we choose who we are and who we want to
become. The honesty and authenticity of Abby Wambach are the reasons I enjoyed
her autobiography.
