O knihe

"No Ordinary Family," is a story, a true story, about young girls that came together and played softball as a team called the Arkansas Playmakers.
I had a fellow author read an early copy before it was sent to the publisher. I asked him to look it over and then get back to me with ways the manuscript could be improved. He had many good ideas, and I hope I was able to implement them to his satisfaction. However, he had one question? Were these girls real?
Yes.
"Their names, too?" he asked.
Yes.
The story is real, and unlike "Dragnet" the names were not changed.
I did not know what I was getting myself into when I chose this assignment; but, I hope everyone that reads this book will come to understand that not everything has to be a soap opera or a world of drama queens.
There are parents that coach hard, but remain parents and see the world as one of many colors not just black and white where winning is everything.
Fortunately for the Arkansas Playmakers, the parents and the girls have come together to form a unique family that lives, loves, plays and enjoys life together.
This book is their story. It is a story of a brother and a sister, girls that came together to form a team but eventually became sisters first and foremost, the bond between softball fathers and their softball daughters and what makes a team a championship team (on and off the field).
It is about how a team became part of a small, rural community in the southeastern corner of Arkansas.
I hope those that read this book, find it enjoyable and worth your time and effort.
