Michigan Vs. The Boys is the best book i've ever read, how did u come up with the idea for it?

Michigan is actually the second hockey manuscript I wrote. The first was about a girl who grew up playing on a really supportive boys' team and her experience transitioning to a women's program-- a common occurrence for girls in hockey. It was so much fun to write, but the moment I finished it, I knew I had to explore the other side of the story, for the girls who don't have the support of their team like my first main character did. I hoped that, in writing Michigan, I could shine a light on the things my sport needs to change-- as well as lifting up the amazing athletes who are on the ice making it happen!(less)

Quotes by Carrie S. Allen (?)

“Brie's grinning, but I doubt she's daydreaming about playoffs. Ten bucks says she's mentally creating the playlist for our first locker room dance party of the season.”

“Because we're a small-town team of sixteen girls who win some and lose some, and unless you grew up here, you don't stay in the Upper Peninsula forever. Coach did not grow up here.”

“I'm starting a skate club at my church if you want to join," Jeannie says to me. For some reason, her Yooper accent gets even thicker when she talks about church. She really puts the "eh" in "amen.”
