The Courage of One

There is no better cricket player than Alex Versini. The youngest of seven, he is clearly his parents pride and joy. But all of that is about to change when Alex makes a surprising announcement on his thirteenth birthday: that he is a blossoming young lady who wants to celebrate life as Alexis. Stunned by the revelation, Alexiss parents ask her to leave the house.

Helped by her former cricket coach, Alexis soon enrols in boarding school, where its leaders are oblivious of her insecurities, inner-struggles, and hatred of God. A brilliant student, Alexis spends her time coaching her friends, social outcasts, and even the school bully to academic success. As she matures, finds an adoptive family, and eventually becomes the mistress of music at a prestigious finishing school, Alexis is introduced to Dante, a handsome mentor who captures her heart. Ten years after she is estranged from her family, Alexis begins planning her wedding. Now only time will tell if she can forgive past hurts, overcome her anger, and embrace the happiness she knows she deserves before she loses everything once again.

In this poignant story, a teen embarks on a challenging coming-of-age journey where, as a woman, she finally discovers that no obstacle is impossible to overcome.
