The Super Ladies

"Book clubs of America, uncork the wine and settle in for a great discussion. THE SUPER LADIES is big fun!"

– Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow, A Thread of Grace, and Epitaph

PRAISE FOR SUSAN PETRONE'S PREVIOUS NOVEL, THROW LIKE A WOMAN:

“While, on the surface, this is a novel about a woman battling to make her way in the man's world of professional baseball, debut author Petrone presents a stirring and humorous story of a woman doing considerably more than that―trying to rediscover herself, provide for her family, and perhaps find a little love along the way.” – Booklist

“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
