About This Book
It's not just a game anymore.
There's no denying it -- when it comes to playing tennis, Kathy Bardy has talent. Everyone is certain that, with enough drive, she can win the New England Championship. And Kathy wants to win so badly, she can taste it. But everyone--her coach, her parents, even her friends--seems to have a stake in her success. At this level, tennis isn't about fun; it's about competition, money, and possible glory. So when Kathy is presented with an opponent she can't beat, things begin to go awry. A tragedy occurs. And, accident or not, the mystery of what really happened one fateful night will change Kathy's life -- and the lives of those around her -- irrevocably.
