Raised a Warrior: A Memoir of Soccer, Grit, and Leveling the Playing Field

By Susie Petruccelli

Book Overview

Susie Petruccelli grew up in a sports-mad, male-dominated family in California, fighting to find her own identity and path.

And she did. She won a place on the soccer program at Harvard University and felt on top of the world--talented, strong, loved, and worthy. Less than a year later, however, it had all slipped away.

The Vikki Orvice prize-winning Raised a Warrior is Susie's honest, human, and cathartic story of how she, as player and mother, rediscovered herself and the love of a game that almost broke her.

Alongside, she examines the growth of the women's game and the issues still confronting the sport as it fights for the equality it deserves.
