Title: Overcoming Odds
Product review: Larry Colton is a journalist, wanting to write a story on a high school basketball team. He ends up in Hardin, Montana. Hardin is a town made up of whites and Indians that live on a reservation. Colton begins to follow the girls team around with the permission of Coach Mac. He tells not just about basketball but the players' home lives. He learns about their struggles and the poverty most of the kids live in. Colton shows great insight into this town's love for basketball and their need for something more.The characters in Counting Coup could be stories by themselves. What made the book good was that Colton didn't dwell on one person or issue too long, so it helped the book flow. Reading this book would be a good read for anyone who enjoys women's basketball and seeing people overcome life's obstacles.
