If you have
ever had a child participate in a team sport, this is the book for you. Annie Fleming had no idea what she was
getting herself into when she agreed to let her 12-year-old daughter,
Charlotte, try out for the soccer team.
Newly unemployed, Annie is suddenly forced to juggle a demanding new consulting
client with Charlotte’s demanding soccer schedule, a task that becomes even
more challenging after her live-in babysitter walks out. To make matters even
worse, Annie’s husband, Tim, has started acting strangely, and he’s been going
on mysterious business trips that he refuses to explain.
As Annie soon learns, being a soccer mom is more than just dropping her
daughter off at the field for practice.
She has to deal with unrealistic team rules, jealousy, and an
overzealous soccer coach. Nancy Star has
written a funny tale about what a balancing act motherhood can be. It is a lighthearted look at the mommy-track
with important lessons built in. Add it
to your reading pile as you sit on the sidelines of your child’s sport, waiting
for practice to end.
