Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-- A look at one of the youngest professional tennis players in the world. Morrissette highlights Capriati's career from her first amateur tournament when she was six, to her rookie year as a professional. Young readers will enjoy reading about her favorite things and some of her thrills while on the pro tennis tournament tour. Informative full-color photographs, statistics, a diagram of a tennis court, and a glossary add to the book's appeal. In addition, the author does a good job of explaining tennis jargon. --Bruce Lee Siebers, Free Library of Philadelphia

More About the Author
After 18 years as an editor/writer in NYC, I surprised myself by almost effortlessly moving into a very different life as a single mother by choice -- moving back to my home state of Minnesota, having a second child, never returning to corporate life, writing this book and creating a self-employed life focused on communicating with the thousands of women each year who become Choice Moms.
I've created a robust ChoiceMoms.org website with daily blogs, podcasts, and hundreds of articles for women in every stage of the journey, from Thinker to Mom. Thousands of women participate in my online discussion groups and subscribe to my e-newsletter. I have hosted networking events for Choice Moms in NYC (twice), San Francisco (three times), D.C. (twice), London, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Minneapolis. Plans in 2011 include Raleigh, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle, Boston and San Diego.
