Book Description
Growing up in basketball-crazed Indiana in the '50s, Debbie Millbern mastered her game on driveway courts against neighborhood boys, but was relegated to the bleachers while the boys played on school teams. Playing basketball in college gave her a taste of organized competition, but also exposed glaring inequities between men's and women's athletics. After passage of the federal law (Title IX) in 1972 mandating equality in sports, Debbie faced an unprecedented challenge when her high school girls' volleyball team was forced to play against boys in a dramatic 1975 state championship final. Her memoir is a real-life history lesson about the evolution of women's sports, and is filled with themes of determination, perseverance, and hope.

How would you like to have a wonderfully well-suited, kind, adoring half-orange who feels like a teammate, a partner in crime, a true other half?
