Struck by a train days before her wedding, author Sonya Elliott miraculously survives. Her fiancé does not. Sonya, a fashion model and college athlete, awakens in the hospital critically injured and without the man she loves to help her through the unbelievable nightmare. Relying on her “never give up” attitude, Sonya fights through painful grief and debilitating injuries and in time returns to the basketball court where she reignites her passion for the game, but more importantly, for life itself. BACK ON THE COURT is a passionate memoir that brings insight to the grief process, is a captivating love story, and has an inspiring impact that will last a lifetime.
