"A smashing success!” — Billie Jean King
At seventeen, Alice Marble has no formal tennis skills and no coach. With steadfast determination and one sacrifice after another, Alice plays her heart out on the courts of the rich and famous, at national tournaments, and—the greatest of them all—at Wimbledon, rising to be one of the top-ranked players in the world.
But then her world falls apart. With the outbreak of war with Germany, Alice’s tennis career and life comes to a screeching halt. Alice is given the chance to fight back when the US Army sends her a request: Under the guise of playing in tennis exhibition games in Switzerland, she would be a spy for them. Alice aches for nothing more than to avenge what the war has taken from her and prove herself against this new opponent. But what awaits her might be her greatest challenge yet…
