The international game's all-time leading scorer writes about a twenty-three-year career for Canada, the 2012 semi-final against the United States, the Olympic gold in Tokyo, and losing her mother to multiple sclerosis along the way. She is famously private and the book is plainly written because of it.
Why we picked it
The longest career in the sport, told by someone whose whole approach was showing up for two decades rather than peaking once.
