SUMMARY:"Inaugural Ballers." book signing with Andrew Maraniss
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing event with Andrew Maraniss:  “Inaugural Ballers. The True Story of the First U.S. Women’s Olympic Basketball Team” \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Strong Inside comes the inspirational true story of the birth of women’s Olympic basketball at the 1976 Summer Games and the ragtag team that put US women’s basketball on the map. Perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin and Daniel James Brown. \nA League of Their Own meets Miracle in the inspirational true story of the first US Women’s Olympic Basketball team and their unlikely rise to the top. \nTwenty years before women’s soccer became an Olympic sport and two decades before the formation of the WNBA\, the ’76 US women’s basketball team laid the foundation for the incredible rise of women’s sports in America at the youth\, collegiate\, Olympic\, and professional levels. \nThough they were unknowns from small schools such as Delta State\, the University of Tennessee at Martin and John F. Kennedy College of Wahoo\, Nebraska\, at the time of the ’76 Olympics\, the American team included a roster of players who would go on to become some of the most legendary figures in the history of basketball. From Pat Head\, Nancy Lieberman\, Ann Meyers\, Lusia Harris\, coach Billie Moore\, and beyond—these women took on the world and proved everyone wrong. \nPacked with black-and-white photos and thoroughly researched details about the beginnings of US women’s basketball\, Inaugural Ballers is the fascinating story of the women who paved the way for girls everywhere. \nNew York Times bestselling author Andrew Maraniss writes sports and history-related nonfiction\, telling stories with a larger social message. His first book\, Strong Inside\, received the Lillian Smith Book Award for civil rights and the RFK Book Awards’ Special Recognition Prize for social justice\, becoming the first sports-related book ever to win either award. His young readers adaptation of Strong Inside was named one of the Top Biographies for Youth by the American Library Association and was named a Notable Social Studies Book by the Children’s Book Council. His acclaimed second book for kids Games of Deception was a Sydney Taylor Book Award Middle Grade Honor Recipient\, a Junior Library Guild selection\, and was praised by authors Steve Sheinkin and Susan Campbell Bartoletti. He is also the author of Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke. Andrew is a contributor to ESPN’s sports and race website\, TheUndefeated.com\, and is a visiting author at the Vanderbilt University Athletic Department.
