Since then, Osaka has galvanized the tennis world--and gained attention across the culture--not only by winning three more Grand Slams, but by finding her voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Her extraordinary talent and unique blend of power and vulnerability have propelled her to the top of her sport and onto the front page of newspapers and magazines worldwide. She became the highest-paid female athlete in history and one of the most discussed, at the cultural crossroads on myriad social issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But until now, the story of the Haitian Japanese American Osaka family's journey across the world to follow their tennis dreams--and how their youngest daughter found her power off the court--has remained little known. It is a story unlike any other, and Ben Rothenberg's biography not only shows where Osaka came from but also where she's going as she returns to competitive tennis after a year on maternity leave. Through a riveting exploration of the ways Osaka has changed the game on and off the court, Rothenberg details the incredible impact Osaka has had in the arenas of sports, media, business, social justice, and mental health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593472439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ben Rothenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271765819573,"sku":"9780593472439","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_14b20f1f-533a-41b7-ae7a-5608594228b0.jpg?v=1699956814","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/naomi-osaka-her-journey-to-finding-her-power-and-her-voice-9780593472439","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
