Abebi Ngom’s life has been a journey since her family left Africa for a better life. A daunting voyage over land, sea and air transforms into a new adventure as the family navigates the challenges of starting over in a new land.

For Abebi, football is her beacon of hope.

However, their solace is overshadowed by a devastating loss as her mother falls victim to a terrible attack. Determined to live on and show the resilience that her mother always taught her, Abebi's rise in the football world is marked by both personal and professional milestones.

Amidst the glamour of international recognition and the pursuit of World Cup glory, Abebi faces her greatest test yet when she must confront her sister's dangerous secret.

Abebi follows one girl through the trials and successes of family, forgiveness, and the unyielding spirit of pursuing one's dreams against all odds.

It is Texi Smith's sixth football novel.
