Why read it?
1 author picked The Keeper as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I grew up as a competitive swimmer and struggled to put words to some of the feelings I had around being a female athlete, especially given how disconnected I felt from the history of women’s sports.

Plus, the historical look at Title Nine was so informative and, quite frankly, shocking.
From Haley's list on graphic memoirs to make you feel seen.
