Publisher Comments:

A Boston Globe bestseller, now in paperback — "The Red Rose Crew is a terrific book. It's not just for rowers — it's as universally appealing as The Horse Whisperer." --John Casey, author of Spartina More than twenty years before Mia Hamm led the U.S. women's soccer team to win the 1999 World Cup, a group of amazing women rowed their way to international success and glory, battling sexual prejudice, bureaucracy, and male domination in one of the most grueling and competitive sports. Now their gripping story of bravery, determination, and indomitable spirit is told in The Red Rose Crew.
