In Finding the Game: Three Years, Twenty-five Countries, and the Search for Pickup Soccer, Gwendolyn Oxenham, along with her boyfriend and two of their friends, bribe their way into a Bolivian prison, bet shillings on a game with moonshine brewers in Kenya, play with women in hijab on a court in Tehran – and discover what the world looks like when you wander down side streets holding on to a ball. An entertaining, heartfelt look at the soul of a sport, this book is proof that on the field and in life, some things need no translation. Join us for a book presentation and signing by author and athlete Gwendolyn Oxenham, who was the youngest Division I athlete in NCAA history, and a soccer star for Duke at age 16!
