Ace, marvel, spy : a novel of Alice Marble / Jenni L. Walsh.
"At seventeen, Alice Marble has no formal tennis skills and no coach. What she does have is an ability to hit the ball as hard as she can and a strong desire to prove herself. With steadfast determination and one sacrifice after another, Alice plays her heart out on the courts of the rich and famous, at national tournaments, and the greatest of them all at Wimbledon, rising to be one of the top-ranked players in the world. But then her world falls apart. With the outbreak of war with Germany, Alice's tennis career and life come to a screeching halt, and for the first time, she is forced to confront who she is without tennis. As she seeks to understand her new place in the world and how she can aid in the war efforts, a telegram arrives with devastating news from overseas. Heartbroken and lost, she feels like she can only watch as the war wreaks havoc in every area of her life. Until an unexpected invitation arrives." Amazon.com
