Twenty years later, Ruth and her now-ex-husband, Lester, are two of the most famous faces in sports media. When Lester decides to retire from the announcers' booth, Ruth goes after his job. If she gets it, she will be the first woman to call NBA games on national television. For now, Ruth is reporting from the sideline of the NBA finals, immersed in the high-pressure spectacle of the post-season. But in a deserted locker room at halftime, Ruth makes a discovery that shatters her vision of her future. Instantly, she is torn between the two things she has always wanted most: the game and motherhood. With warmth and incisive observation, Adrian brings to life the obsessions, emotions, and drama of fandom. The Second Season asks why, how, and whom we watch, while offering a rich and complicated account of motherhood, marriage, and ambition. Adrian's character study of Ruth Devon illuminates a beautiful basketball mind--and the struggle of a woman who claims authority in a male-dominated world."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sportscasters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sexism $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024647.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20220706023436.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220615010143.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20220309010213.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211203011135.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012823.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210820011114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F83D32FA017B11ECA67BC50527ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
