Holly says: "You can’t visit Aotearoa New Zealand without seeing an All Blacks or Black Ferns game on the screen, so this memoir by one of the top female players caught my eye. The daughter of a Samoan father and a mother with Irish/Scottish heritage, Ruby Tui overcame a difficult and unstable childhood to become an Olympic Champion and some say the world's best rugby sevens player. I know even less about rugby than I do other sports, so I’m eager to read Ruby’s story and learn more about the game that inspires such fiery fan adoration in so many."
