A triumphant sports memoir by one of the first African American female soccer players, an athlete who rose to fame and suffered great loss only to rise again, stronger. -- Booklist My Greatest Save is more than the story of an all-time great goalkeeper. It's about a pioneering female athlete who made sure to honor those who came before her even as she worked hard to make things better for those who came after her. -- Billie Jean King Before every USWNT game we played together, Briana would look me in the eye, give me a double-gloved fist bump, and ask, 'Ready?' I knew I didn't have to ask her because she was always ready. Everybody knows Bri was one of the greatest keepers in the history of women's soccer. When you read My Greatest Save, you will find out that her heart and courage were every bit the equal of her ball-stopping skills. -- Mia Hamm Briana Scurry is one of the most dominant and courageous goalkeepers I've ever played with. Her character and courage go far beyond the pitch. My Greatest Save is a moving story of resilience and triumph. It helped me get to know Bri--and myself--better. -- Abby Wambach
