The prize-winning RAISED A WARRIOR is Susie Petruccelli's honest, human and cathartic story of how she, as player and mother, rediscovered herself and the love of a game that almost broke her. Alongside, she examines the growth of the women's game and the issues still confronting the sport as it fights for the equalities it deserves.
Susie Petruccelli grew up in a sports-mad, male-dominated family in California, fighting to find her own identity and path.
And she did. She won a place on the soccer programme at Harvard University and felt on top of the world - talented, strong, loved and worthy. Less than a year later, however, it had all slipped away.
