Description

Book Synopsis

Nora Becker has the opportunity of a lifetime: to play basketball for the Red Heads, a traveling women's team, at the height of the Great Depression.

She accepts the paid position, leaving her little sister behind to travel across the United States. Nora has never been outside of Oregon, and she soon learns that male opponents and spectators expect entertainment more than athleticism. As Nora finds joy in new friendships and travel, she bears witness to poverty and hopelessness in many communities. When her sister begs her to come home for good, Nora must reconcile her loyalty and love to her family and her teammates. A heartwarming historical tale brimming with engaging characters, The Red Heads will appeal to fans of Kathleen Rooney's From Dust to Stardust, Rita Bullwinkel's Headshot, and the movie A League of Their Own.
