Members' Comments on Sept.'s Selection

COUNTING COUP
by Larry Colton

Description: Sharon LaForge is a 17-year-old Native American basketball player who lit up the gym with talent, spirit, and a fierce will to win--a young woman engaged in a heroic struggle not only to lead her team to the state finals, but to save herself from a life of poverty and loss. Through her eyes we witness a harrowing battle with alcoholism, a shattered family, racial conflict, and growing up.

Georgianna: This is not the good book that I want to live in.

Rose: It's good enough to finish.

Ann: I recommended it to the Lawrence Ladies' Book Club.

Marianne: A good story about athletics and women!

Marie: I recommended it to my friends.

Sue: Very true to life; it's a shame that it continues today.

Brenda: A real-life book at a small Montana town near the Crow Reservation.
