I would read the phone book if Elicia wrote it. I was grinning like an idiot to myself while reading this, thus making my husband suspicious. This is a lovely story about learning to live with grief and starting to find yourself.
I found a romance novel set in my world, women's flat-track roller derby. In the wake of her mother's death, Lucy finds a man, follows him to derby, and decides to join to challenge herself. To be glib, I could say, "... and in the process learns a special lesson about herself and about love." Except, Elicia Hyder, a former derby skater, gets the game and the culture right. In my seven years in derby, I've seen the Lucys save themselves. Read it.
