Description
Megan Rapinoe's life story is a remarkable journey of love, loss, and activism. From her childhood passion for soccer to her courageous stand against injustice, Rapinoe shares her personal story with humor, humanity, and joy. As a young girl, Rapinoe learned that winning was less important than how she lived her life, a lesson that guided her throughout her career. She reveals the events that shaped her into the athlete and advocate she is today, including her decision to come out publicly as gay and use her platform to advocate for marriage equality. With unflinching honesty, Rapinoe pulls back the curtain on her experiences, including her high-profile protests against racial injustice and police brutality. This is a story of one life, lived with purpose and conviction, and invites readers to reflect on their own values and the impact they can have.
