Hope--#23 finished

This is a memoir by Hope Solo, soccer goalie, it was published in 2012.  She is probably the best US female goalie ever but is certainly also outspoken and controversial.  Her home life growing up was certainly screwed up--her father, who she adored, had a shady past and lived a shady life after divorce.  Hope though once finding him stayed close to him.  At times you feel for her, what she has had to overcome but then plenty of other times she has been the cause of her problems.  I had to check the publish date of the book because I know she has been in news since.  I checked her wikipedia page and she continued to star in soccer for years after the book.  Her latest issue though is a DWI with her 2 year old kids in the car.  Just a complicated person like we all are I guess but her life is lived more in the news than the rest of us.

I have posted it on PBS, there was 1 WL for it & has already been accepted.  Will get it mailed off in the next few days.
