![HOW WOMEN'S HOCKEY SAVED THE WORLD* : (and defeated Donald Trump, but not necessarily in that order) An icy, off-beat hockey memoir. by [Alex Charns]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412yeFFwN+L.jpg)
Need a break from political ads? Try some
magical thinking that overturns the 2016 election and secures 2024 for
the good guys. "Poignant, philosophical, humorous, and wise. [P]art
handbook on hockey and [p]art political satire." The Prairies Book
Review (Canadian, of course!) [Cover designed by Willo Charns and
photo by Lee Charns.]. An off-beat hockey dad’s memoir about the joys
and sorrows of his daughter playing on a boy’s team, watching as she
triumphs over bullying and sexual slurs on the ice.
Praise for the prequel: “In ‘How Hockey Saved the World,’ Charns takes a tongue-in-cheek view of politics and sports, delivering humor and laughs that recall the work of Mark Twain, Joseph Heller and Ambrose Bierce.” Cliff Bellamy, Durham Herald-Sun 6/15/06. “[T]he author’s subversive wit and genuine belief in the game’s magic are oddly persuasive. An amiable meditation to warm even the iciest hearts.” Kirkus Discoveries 7/7/06.
