Parm being a young girl who hasn't yet 'come out' of the closet yet is faced with some really tough choices. This is an important story. Many young people face stuff like this and sadly, out of shame or fear, won't speak up. This enables people in positions of power to continue abusing others, something Parm realizes.... I appreciated the lessons in this book and the fact it brings awareness to a serious problem, not only sexual abuse, but a teenager's fear of 'coming out'. --Tara Chevrestt BookBabe.blogspot.com, NewAgeMama.blogspot.com (06/18/2013) Parm being a young girl who hasn't yet 'come out' of the closet yet is faced with some really tough choices.

Nicholson's extensive knowledge of the sports world makes for a glimpse into the real behind-the-scenes of practices, locker rooms, and tournament life. Nicholson gives her protagonists and secondary characters great depth, which ensures that the friendships and team dynamics between the characters are relatable and, above all else, believable.- Recommended--Jillian Sexton -CM: Canadian Review of Materials - Lorna Schultz Nicholson is to be commended for her no-fear approach to writing about serious issues that have resonance with real life.
