On the Line by Serena Williams is a nice glimpse into an amazing and very young life. Serena was born to her Richard and Oracene Williams and almost from the cradle she was trained to be a tennis champion by her father, along with her sister Venus. We are given glimpses into the lives of the young women and the life they shared with their family. While a very inspiring story, there was nothing new that I had not read on the tennis champion prior. However, I did enjoy her description of the love she had for her sister, Tunde, who was killed. The love and admiration lifts from the page and is very obvious in the photographs included.
On the Line is a good look at a very blessed and talented young woman in the early years of her life. There is much mention made of the tournaments and the closeness of family. Though not as involved as I would have liked the biography was thoroughly enjoyable and inspirational. I recommend On the Line to tennis fans and those who love biographies.
