The Super Ladies

¿Throw Like a Woman is that rare baseball novel, both a paean to the game and a deeper exploration of character. Susan Petrone has a fan's heart and a scout's eye. Read it now. Don't wait for the movie.¿ ¿ Stewart O'Nan, co-author of Faithful and A Face in the Crowd
¿For baseball fans who yearn for a female Jackie Robinson, reading Susan Petrone's fun and absorbing novel Throw Like a Woman becomes a kind of prayer. `Please, Lord! Give talent a chance. Let this dream come true!'¿ ¿ Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow
¿Someday there will be a woman who plays Major League Baseball. And when it happens, I suspect it will be an awful lot like Susan Petrone's fun Throw Like a Woman. Susan knows baseball and so the novel ¿ and her hero Brenda Haversham ¿ crackles with authenticity. You can hear the pop of the ball hitting the catcher's mitt.¿ ¿ Joe Posnanski, author of The Soul of Baseball, NBC Sports National Columnist
¿Petrone's storytelling is first-rate, and she weaves a credible baseball tale with well-defined characters throughout.¿ ¿ The Wave
