Riassunto

One of America's rising tennis stars describes how his career was jeopardized by a freak accident on the court that broke his back; how his recovery was threatened by the loss of his father to cancer and to the illness, caused by the Herpes zoster virus, that paralyzed half of his face; and the determination and parental wisdom that led him to persevere. 75,000 first printing.
