Forty year-old divorcee with two sons, Brenda finds her home life is evolving faster than she can keep up, redefining her role as a mother, a friend, and even a lover. When she astounds onlookers at a “test your speed” pitching cage before a Cleveland Indians game, the Indians come calling and she finds herself standing on the mound as the first woman player in Major League history – and dealing with everything that comes with it. Written by Pushcart Prize Nominee Susan Petrone, Throw Like a Woman is a book that hits it out of the park.
