Sarah finds her Great-Grandmother Ruby's diary in which she writes about playing on a high school basketball championship team in 1925 and losing a treasured silver ring. Sarah's search uncovers a girls' sports history that spans across four generations of her family.This book is based on real-life stories collected from women who were high school athletes in the early 1900s and from women who were pioneers in the struggle to bring girls and women's sports back into the schools during the 1960s and 1970s.As the semester comes to a close and her team heads into playoffs, Sarah is confronted with an unexpected turn of events. It is an exciting time in her life but is Sarah ready? What will Sarah do with all she has learned? What path will Sarah choose to make a difference?It's time to dream."Two A Legacy of Hope is also a call to action for Sarah's generation as she comes to see that discrimination and unfair practices still exist, and her generation will need to step up and 'get into the game,'" says author Dorothy E. McIntyre.
