Great for readers of all ages. The road to glory is never easy. This memoir of one of the most dominant rebounders to ever play the game of basketball, reveals the heart and soul of a true champion and the obstacles she overcame on her path to greatness. As one of the original players of the WNBA and team captain of the Jamaica National Basketball Team from 2006 - 2013, Edwards achieved her grand dream. Her current dream is to inspire others to achieve theirs. The 6’4” former center, dubbed as “Jamaican Hurricane,” was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. In her heartfelt memoir, Unstoppable, Edwards reveals the harsh realities of growing up poor in a gang-infested village and how she found the inner strength to maintain hope in the face of opposition.
