Book Review: Sugar Free by Robin D’Amato
Sugar Free by Robin D'Amato Genre: Historical Fiction / Coming of Age ISBN: 9798891322370 Print Length: 280 pages Publisher: Atmosphere Press Reviewed by Audrey Davis When Ginny Eastman is handed a basketball at …
When Ginny Eastman is handed a basketball at six years old in 1966, she is instantly enamored. With the guidance of her older brother Asher, Ginny learns she has a natural aptitude and passion for the game, but when she receives a diagnosis of childhood diabetes, her athleticism becomes a risk. Knowledge surrounding blood glucose levels and how to monitor them is limited, but she will not let this stop her from reaching her goals.
Although intimidated, Ginny is dedicated. High school proves another daunting task, as does college, as she continues chasing a career in a sport lacking adequate women's divisions and support. Confronting tradition and social expectations as well as her own inner thoughts, Ginny forges her own path forward to create a life she wants to live, not one expected of her.
"Ginny didn't want people to pat her on the head and tell her everything would be fine. She also didn't want people to scare the crap out of her until she was rolled up in a fetal position sobbing her eyes out. However, this didn't mean she didn't want information."
