She is brave and she is brutal. You don&#x27;t have to love basketball or care about motherhood to love this book, but this book will make you fall in love with both. I&#x27;m a goner; I will read anything she writes.&quot;</blockquote><blockquote>-- Rufi Thorpe, author of The Knockout Queen</blockquote>About the BookRuth Devon starred for Georgetown Basketball back in college--until she injured her knee, married her coach, and found a new career calling games on the radio. Twenty years later, Ruth and her now-ex-husband, Lester, are two of the most famous faces in sports media. When Lester decides to retire from the announcers&#x27; booth, Ruth goes after his job. If she gets it, she will be the first woman to call NBA games on national television.For now, Ruth is reporting from the sideline of the NBA finals, immersed in the high-pressure spectacle of the post-season. But in a deserted locker room at halftime, Ruth makes a discovery that shatters her vision of her future. Instantly, she is torn between the two things she has always wanted most: the game and motherhood.With warmth and incisive observation, Adrian brings to life the obsessions, emotions, and drama of fandom. The Second Season asks why, how, and whom we watch, while offering a rich and complicated account of motherhood, marriage, and ambition. Adrian&#x27;s character study of Ruth Devon illuminates a beautiful basketball mind--and the struggle of a woman who claims authority in a male-dominated world.About the AuthorsEmily Adrian is the author of two critically acclaimed young adult novels, Like It Never Happened and The Foreseeable Future. Everything Here Is under Control is her first adult novel.
