Publisher Comments:
Following one championship season in the lives of the Lady Hurricanes, a high school basketball team from Amherst, Massachusetts, this involving personal account offers a riveting portrait of contemporary female adolescence and the development of girls' self-esteem. From tryouts to the final buzzer of a championship game, Madeleine Blais captures the complexities of girls' experiences in school, athletics, and society itself as these young women fight to excel on and off the courts and in their own hearts — an inspirational quest for success, glory, and respect.
To tie in to the WNBA season, here is the nationally acclaimed bestseller from a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist about the championship Lady Hurricanes basketball team of Amherst, Massachusetts.
