| Editorial Review | This truly is the inside story of Andy and Jamie's remarkable rise. Compelling...This is a positive, life-affirming view. -- Alan Patullo * Scotland on Sunday * "A cracking book" -- Chris Evans breakfast show, BBC Radio 2 "A fascinating and incriminating document. As well as mapping out the travails of tennis parenthood, it offers a window into generations of patronising, belittling attitudes to women in sport... She should be considered a national treasure" -- Simon Briggs * Daily Telegraph * "Judy's account is honest and open... She is passionate about getting children into sport...Judy Murray has plenty to feel proud about." * Scotsman * "Quite simply, she is inspirational, passionate and great fun" -- Kirsty Wark * Observer * |
