Andrea Petković was among the top ten in the world in 2011 and 2014. Two years ago she said goodbye to competitive sports at the US Open.

In 13 chapters, headed by the names of the months, she tells the story of the year in which she ended her career. For the first-person narrator in the book, it's about shedding one identity - and developing, building and living a new one. The author condenses emotional processes and cleverly interweaves them again and again.
