Wolfpack: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game

Product Information

First, yay for a book based in Canada. Double-yay for a voice actor pronouncing ‘sOREry’ correctly, though no one said, ‘eh’ once. For example, she dated boys when she was a teenager. Because every other girl was doing it that way. However, she was not sure about what she was going through while dating boys. During high school, she realized that she was homosexual. She was scared about what would her family say and she hid this fact and she couldn’t even confess to herself. I liked the use of imagery connecting the names of the girls--Ivy, Fern, Daisy, Rose, Oleanna (spelled differently from the plant), Poppy, Violet, Laurel, Willow--to their personalities and appearances. The writing is beautiful and the story is so engaging. There is a mystery that you are trying to solve right along with the girls. While Havenwood could definitely be labeled a cult, it is truly a credit to the author that she was able to make the characters relatable and also make readers understand why the members of the community would stay and find comfort in Havenwood.

Women must learn to refuse inequality and become stronger than ever, to resolve the inequality in pay. The story tension builds through the points of view of eight of the nine girls who each have their own poems, and a collective POV voice of "we" representing the girls as a group. The story grows through these multiple voices which combine to show the workings of Havenwood and other significant characters who live there and how the girls engage with the community. There are a few encounters with the outside world, both people coming in, and twice the girls venturing out. I didn't notice until I'd read through the book that one of the nine, Rose, did not have her own poems. It was skillfully done and of course, raises the question: why? What left me wanting more: The girls all felt rather the same, as there was not a style or descriptive change that occurred from one perspective to another, and the only differentiating factor was the label of whose it was. This may have actually been intentional to set them up as a cohesive set/group with almost a hivemind. In practice, it did make it easier to read, as the reader did not need to be bothered so much with who was who - the standouts that differentiated themselves were made clear.

My problem with rating this is the execution of the book. It's just okay, very short (it might take an hour to read), and left me wanting more. Maybe I read too much nonfiction where there is a bibliography or footnotes, and I get that inspirational pieces don't always have that. This is written from the heart, based on personal experience, and at that it succeeds nicely. Apparently I expect more of something like this in book form so maybe that's my problem that should not impact my rating, but there you have it. Let's call it 3.5 stars. They became stronger, braver and more successful. You can do the same. Find powerful and courageous women like yourself and stay with them. Praise, celebrate, support and sustain each other. She needed to score one more goal to win that game. She was so close to winning and the match was about to end. She scored one more time and her team won the game.

Obviously, the inequality of paying is not particular to sports. Women have this problem everywhere. In 2015, U.S. citizen women made only the 4 out of 5 percent of male citizen’s earnings. Also, not all the time you will score, but also your teammate will score, too. At that moment, you should join the celebration of hers right away. It doesn’t have to be in the game, in other areas of life another woman’s success should be enough to celebrate her achievement and praise her. Hollie Bahar as Prisha Ahmad, a park ranger co-worker of Garrett's and the only person who knows the Briggs's twins secret Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kristin Ramsey, an arson investigator investigating the cause of the forest fire For me, the more unfortunate part is always lost potential. This book captures a high intensity moment of the characters’ lives, but does nothing to expand on the characters’ respective actions and the subsequent plot elements. For example, why not explore the first episodes of changing and how the family kept this secret from the rest of the town? Why skip 15 years of the main character’s lives, making the rationales for their respective personalities a mystery? Why not explore the characters’ bizarre behaviours through the lens of Tora’s crush, letting the reader experience the connection and reason why said 'crush' might make a good ally? I have no idea.Overall enjoyed this book. I'd had it on the shelf since March. Felt compelled to #JustDoIt today. Glad I did. Felt a little like a sabbatical from books that usually take days. When we – the women realize that this power is infinite, we can all benefit from it and we can join to celebrate each other’s success. There won’t be any struggle for trying to get awarded from the patriarchic society. Rather, by working together and being stronger than ever, we’ll create a new social system that all women can benefit from equally. Imperfect men have been empowered and permitted to run the world since the beginning of time. It's time for imperfect women to grant themselves permission to join them. p48 The one negative I have is that I am not a huge fan of more than dual or triple POV, because I get confused by really large casts of POV characters. Had we been able to read as only 2 or 3 of the girls, my rating would have been higher.

Five years later, when she won the place in the National Team, Wambach finally got the courage to ask about that photograph. The answer to that question affected her too much that the way she looks at a failure changed, since then. Prange, Stephanie (March 21, 2023).

Of course, in soccer and in life, there are times when it won’t be you who scores. It will be the woman beside you. In these moments, it’s crucial that you start running in her direction, celebrating her achievement.
