Book Review: Throw Like A Woman by Susan Petrone

  

 

Throw Like A Woman by Susan Petrone

Enjoy this read because it's about baseball. A mother with two boys, divorced and she's on the baseball team and was caught throwing 82mph pitch.

It's the internet sensation. She enjoys it and the time she spent with her father learning how to do the various throws.

She was a graphic designer but after the divorce and unsure if the child support would come to pay the bills she goes back to work, data entry at the insurance company.

Dan, the ex, doesn’t always take the boys on weekends, throwing her schedule off.  She's got a mom that will come over after school to feed the boys and make sure they do their homework.

Petitions are signed and she's up to try out for the Cleveland Indians and does well, well enough to get a contract, contingent on a physical.

There are obstacles and she just recalls her father’s advice

Tradition and baseball and NO female players....is some of what she's up against and her kids as she's on the road now 8 months out of the year...

She just wants a better life for them...

Received this review copy from The Story Plant and this is my honest opinion.
