"e;A chilling account."e; New York TimesSHORTLISTED - Prime Minister's Literary Awards, Non-Fiction 2018This is a story of Jelena Dokic's survival. How she survived as a refugee, twice. How she survived on the tennis court to become world No. 4. But, most importantly, how she survived her father, Damir Dokic, the tennis dad from hell.Jelena was a prodigious talent, heralded as Australia's greatest tennis hope since Evonne Goolagong. She had exceptional skills, a steely nerve and an extraordinary ability to fight on the court. Off it she endured huge challenges; being an 'outsider' in her new country, poverty and racism. Still she starred on the tennis court. By 18, she was in the world's top 10. By 19, she was No. 4. The world was charmed by her and her story - a refugee whose family had made Australia home when she was eleven years old.Jelena has not told a soul her incredible, explosive story in full - until now.From war-torn Yugoslavia to Sydney to Wimbledon, she narrates her hellish ascent to becoming one of the best tennis players in the women's game, and her heart-breaking fall from the top. Her gutsy honesty will leave you in awe. Her fight back from darkness will uplift you. Most of all, Jelena's will to survive will inspire you._______________________________________________PRAISE FOR UNBREAKABLE"e;A study in what truly makes a champion."e; Herald Sun"e;Unbreakable has the gut-wrenching quality of a Greek myth: a daughter torn between loyalty to her family and her need to break free in order to survive."e; The Sydney Morning Herald"e;A book you will think about for hours after finishing it, and perhaps shed a tear while reading it."e; Townsville Bulletin
