Hettie Carlin, an ambitious journalist, is assigned to investigate the rise of Althea Gibson, the tennis world's newest star. However, Hettie has a history with Althea, and convincing her to talk to her again is not easy. As Althea's star rises, she faces media bias, prejudice, and discrimination head-on, and Althea soon realizes she may need Hettie to tell her own story on her own terms. When Althea becomes an unexpected civil rights icon, the pair hold the potential to change history. If they can work together, they may just help revolutionize more than just sport once and for all.
The Game Changer is a gripping historical fiction novel about bravery, hard work, the quest for success, and two women's stand against prejudice in all its forms. Readers love the book, with Embassie Susberry being a master storyteller who brings real people's stories back to life. The book is extremely engaging with excellent historical context and is a fitting tribute to a strong woman.
