![]() ![]() ![]() But a girl on a boy’s golf team is going to attract attention from media and others. When Fred starts winning, it is against the expectation of her male teammates, none of whom initially want her on the team and every one else but maybe Fred, her father and the coach. The golf coach, however, is suggesting that Fred is good enough to gain a college scholarship. Her mother urges her to “make sure the chef” at the local casino restaurant likes her so she’ll have a job when she graduates. But she doesn’t seem to fit in at home on the reservation. Her poverty sets her as far apart as her Indian heritage from most of the teens at her school. The best part of the story is Fred’s struggle to fit in, both from a class standpoint and a race standpoint. ![]() Despite the rich kid school, the team is awful and Fred has a more natural game than any of the boys. One summer, the boys’ varsity golf team coach sees Fred play and offers her a spot on the team. Her father is the groundskeeper of the golf course at the country club. Her brother is working for a gas station, doing some minor repairs on cars. Jane C+ Reviews Contemporary / Native American / Sports / Young-Adult 3 Comments ![]()
