Attention all existing and aspiring soccer Moms; this book is for you! Meet Annie, a type-A personality who was recently "resigned" from her job against her will and becomes immersed in her daughter Charlotte's soccer life as Charlotte tries to join the right team. The local Soccernazi coach, Winslow West, has grabbed all the soccer power in the entire town and then some, coaching the "elite" teams, inciting political backstabbing among the parents, and sinking a lot of money into his beloved soccer stadium. Sparks fly as Annie and Charlotte try to do the right thing in this hostile environment. Although I know nothing about soccer and was a little lost with the terminology and rules discussed in the book, if you know soccer, you'll love this book!
