Rounding Third

by Renee Gravelle

Overview

Rounding Third is the story of Marisol, a young Latina newcomer to a small community who struggles to find her niche as a volunteer softball coach and paid art teacher. During the three years of the story, she acquires many coaching successes and new friends, but she is forced to adjust her goals and dreams as the community stalwarts--the real "insiders"--work against her successes. Navigating a world that seems to be filled with allies or enemies challenges Marisol to preserve her sense of self-worth within a community of people whose complexities resist such dichotomization.

About the Author

Librarian--Book Lover--Cat Lover--Dog Lover--Drinker of dry red wine--Unitarian Universalist (with Spiritualist sympathies and an interest in Buddhism). I am older than 25 but still feel that young. The older I get, the more I realize how much I have in common with everyone else. I prefer to write about the dramas of regular people, ordinary people--not the rich and famous. The unseen and unacknowledged lives sweated out and rejoiced over and agonized through are much more interesting. I still work for a living--in a high school--and realize I should have been a history professor. Maybe next time.
