In Part 2 of our deeply personal interview with Abby, she reveals for the first time:
1. Her romance with an unrequited love – someone who strung her along hopelessly for years;
2. Her anguish and rebirth after being arrested;
3. Her sense of loss when being crowned FIFA Player of the Year;
4. Her divorce after fighting for marriage equality – inside her own family and on the public stage; and
5. The night she met Glennon.
