"Hill captures a watershed moment in the history of sports in a way that highlights how transformative athletics can be..."
-Kirkus Reviews "As the novel stretches out over years, readers have the chance to see Claire grow both on and off the court, all during the political fight for women's equality. A great read for sports lovers."
--Booklist
"So well written, sharply paced, and all at once literary and colloquial both, Maggie Hill brings us a story that resonates as much today as it would have done a half-century ago."
--Colum McCann, National Book Award winner and journalist, author of Apeirogon "Sunday Money succeeds in illuminating a girl's life and passion, which is not a typical one. It feels like a good time for a character like this!"
--Amy Hempel, short story writer and journalist, author of Sing to It "Powerful, lyrical, confident writing filled with telling details, and pitch perfect dialogue. The voice is so believable, strong, and honest."
--Denis Hamill, journalist, screenwriter, producer, novelist
