"She wonders what it would take for a woman to be the right kind of guy."
"Their coach teaches them to go hard into close combat on the ice. No one stops to think about how to switch that attitude off when they leave the locker room. It's easier to pin the blame on her: She's too young. Too attractive. Too easily offended. Too difficult to respect."
"Why Maya's word wasn't enough."
An infuriating book about loyalty and integrity.
