The tennis pro gives you a glimpse into her life growing up in a rough Los Angeles neighborhood, playing in a sport that was male-dominated where fellow brown girls were virtually non-existent, and eventually skyrocketing to fame and fortune.

Sounds like a great read
Sounds like an interesting read. She also looks great on the cover.
Love Serena, well, both sisters. A great contest BG!
I remember when the Williams sisters hit the scene! It was a HUGE deal...people were terribly upset that they showed up and showed out like we BGs do! What?! They had those braids loaded with beads and people were in an uproar about it. Complete foolishness. They were just hating on my brown sistahs! I said all that to say, I don't like autobiographies BUT this is one I would love to read....just because! HOLLA!
She has a great inspirational life story. Both she & Venus are motivating forces both on & off the court. I watched Serena's match last night at the US Open and was so happy to see her advance to the semi-finals. Thanks for the info on her book!
sounds good, and she looks great!
not a big tennis fan but the book sounds good.
I would love to read that book! Serena looks great on the cover.

I absolutely love the Williams sisters and what they represent to all americans, but especially people of color. Sounds like a great book!
I have always been a big fan of Serena and Venus. I am definitely looking forward to checking out this book.
It seems like a great addition to any personal library.
I am so proud of Serena and her sister Venus for their role in the Miami Dolphins!
I love the Williams' sisters & can't wait to read this book!
I would love to read the story behind her life in her own words (FINALLY). If I don't win a copy this is definitely a book I will purchase for my collection.
yes,i do watch the us open.
I just saw this book at the library, it was on hold for someone else but I added my name to the hold list.
It'll be interesting to hear her story in her own words.
I love tennis & the Williams sisters! Thanks BGG
Go Serena! My girl looks great...
hope i'm not too late for this one
I will definitely be reading this book!!
I'm a huge Serena Williams fan! She's beat the odds and shows that athleticism is something that is both profitable for a fellow brown sista but also feminine. Go Serena!!
