Description
The Game Changer by Embassie Susberry is a gripping historical fiction novel inspired by the incredible true story of Althea Gibson, the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title in 1956.
In 1950s New York, ambitious journalist Hettie Carlin is tasked with investigating the rise of Althea Gibson, the tennis world's newest star. However, their past is complicated, and Hettie must convince Althea to talk to her again. As Althea's star rises, she faces media bias, prejudice, and discrimination, and soon realises she may just need Hettie to tell her own story on her own terms.
Their partnership holds the potential to change history, and this novel explores bravery, hard work, and the quest for success in the face of prejudice. With excellent historical context, The Game Changer is an engaging and thought-provoking read.
