Layer Upon Layer - Paperback

Seventeen-year-old Samantha Shuster dreams of playing Division I basketball and has the talent, drive, and passion to succeed-but she's coming face-to-face with the harsh reality of gender bias on and off the court. Overcoming discouragement from her critics, including her coach and her own father, Sam's determination and love for the game propel her forward.

Twenty years later, Sam is coaching at the collegiate level. While mentoring a player going through a personal crisis, Sam realizes that she has been nurturing young women along their paths to self-acceptance while neglecting her own.

As she begins to uncover complex layers of expectations, societal biases, and self-doubt that have shaped her life and the lives of other women, she embarks on a powerful journey of self-acceptance and discovery.
